For anyone who thinks that all electric boats are essentially just aquatic golf carts, well … think again. A Princeton University student team recently broke a world speed record for electric-powered boats, with an average speed of 114.2 mph (183.8 km/h).
When I was a kid, my dad had a trolling motor that got our aluminum fishing boat up to 2, maybe 2.5 miles per hour.
So, the bar is pretty high.
