Engineering
The MOTIVE Hull makes practical electric boating possible. Purpose-built from the keel up.
The MOTIVE Hull
Just as dimples on a golf ball reduce drag, our patented air induction panels create micro-eddies that break water tension and reduce hydrodynamic resistance. Combined with stepped hull geometry, the MOTIVE Hull delivers sustained range at cruising speeds that traditional hulls can't match. This isn't marketing — it's physics.
144V Low-Voltage System
MOTIVE uses a 144V system — below the threshold considered dangerous to touch, even in wet conditions. No high-voltage safety equipment. No specialized technicians. No proprietary charging infrastructure. Just safe, simple, practical electric power using standard marina plugs and commercially available components.
Modular Platform
One universal hull. Three interchangeable deck configurations. The Modular Build System (MBS) lets you choose Runabout, Fishing, or Sunpad decks on the same efficient hull platform. This isn't just smart design — it's how we keep costs down while giving you flexibility.
Real-World Range
MOTIVE delivers 50-mile range at cruise speeds on the 18' platform and 60 miles on the 23' Twin Tail. We publish real test data, not theoretical maximums. The MOTIVE Hull's parabolic range curve means you maintain consistent range at cruising speeds — where you actually boat — instead of seeing dramatic drop-off like standard electric systems.
