The Rise of Electric Boats
Electric boats and outboards are revolutionizing the marine industry for several reasons:
- Environmental Benefits
Electric propulsion eliminates harmful emissions and reduces noise pollution, creating a cleaner and quieter boating experience. This is particularly beneficial for navigating sensitive ecosystems, such as mangroves or wildlife sanctuaries.
