If you have real deep pockets of green, you may want the Deep Blue.

The current estimated selling price (less batteries) is approximately $23,578 dollars, without batteries. Not too bad for an 80 HP electric. The batteries? $36,680 to $73,350, at todays conversion price for Euros. The batteries are said to retain 80% of original capacity after 9 years of use. 80 HP would get those 20 foot Jon Boats flying! $100,000 (+ the cost of the boat) seems like a lot of money to be the first person to your favorite spot.
Thanks for the post Craig.

I think if all members pitch in we can buy one with a boat and then draw the morning of the tournament who gets to use it that day, I could store it at my house. I will move my wife's car out of the garage.

At 325 volts (and who knows how many amps) to run the Deep Blue, I'm sure I don't want to sit in an aluminum boat powered with that much juice. Certainly wouldn't fish on rainy days!
