Very cool. Love the fact that the hardware is 3D printed titanium.

Vaporware for now - slick computer imagery. But I also don’t get the idea that a zero transom boat is practical for any purpose under heaven.

Would be cool if they could incorporate some sort of solar charging system into the boat for low power emergency operation if needed or just to extend the range a bit.

Yes. It’s the first boat announced from Hinkley with the technology.. I don’t know what Hinckley will do in the future on that front. I do know that Duetz/Torqeedo offers alternative solar charging, as well, on its motors.
