First Scott McMillian of Electric Yacht has rolled back the prices to 2010. He did a February pricing special and was so successful that he is making it our new permanent price:
2/5/13 Prices Reduced for February
Electric Yacht has announced an important pricing adjustment. Over the first five years of Electric Yachts operations, Scott has increased systems price twice in response to costs by component suppliers. At the same time there have been boat show specials offered. With the economy still limping along but showing some signs of improvement, Scott is looking to build up the backlog of projects and is rolling back to the prices when he started the company back in 2008 and over 200 installations ago. This is your opportunity to save money on a well engineered system.
1/29/13 San Diego Boat Show
Well we had a great boat show even though it rained Friday and our booth looks like the movie "A River Runs Through It". We had smaller crowd than last year but were busy on Saturday and Sunday. Sailors learned about our sailboat electric propulsion systems and fisherman checked out our new Volt Boat.

We wish you a very happy and successful 2013.
Update on Second Hybrid System
As you have read on the website, we installed a serial hybrid on a 20k pound Gulfstar back in the beginning of the year. That system included a custom 360 motor (48v with 450amp battery system) and a 7kw generator. We have also finished our second installed hybrid, a parallel system that included the installation of a 15hp Yanmar plus a Weekender 7.0 and a 100AH AGM 48v battery pack. Many of our clients and friends use portable generators to create hybrid systems on their boats and these function well within limits. The hybrid systems from Electric Yacht are engineered and designed to function at a very high capacity in the marine environment.
Fluke is our Columbia 9. (31.5ft) and our latest hybrid system - diesel propulsion plus electric propulsion to the shaft. The diesel is also the power for turning the electric motor into a generator to provide power to the batteries and house.
Diesel and Weekender 7.0 installed with Controller mounted on side
The Columbia had been sitting at at dock for over three years without an installed motor. The Yanmar 2QM15 diesel was offered as an option back in the late 70's. We installed it along with our Weekender 7.0 mounted mounted above the transmission. This allow us to push the boat with either the diesel or the electric at hull speed and recharge the batteries when spinning the prop by sail or by the diesel. We programed the electric hybrid system in generator mode to 1.2kw (it has the capacity of 7.0kw) as the diesel does not have enough power to drive the electric at greater output and the boat at the same time. Our next version will increase our options for generation.

1/3/13 Thank you for helping us make our first two years so successful!
A thank you note to the over 350 people who have
contacted us online in our first two years of business. Thanks to all of you who have called, emailed, website inquired, and
blogged with us in our the first two years. This is the
best retirement business in the world as I get to mess around with boats
and meet so many nice interesting people and pirates.
We are very fortunate to have been
associated with Electric Yacht and to have had the opportunity to work
with a very talented engineer and builder, Scott McMillian of Electric
Yacht. This new year is exciting to us with many new products.
I
want to encourage all of you who have considered electric propulsion to
keep in touch with us. If you purchased a system from another company, let us know how
you are doing. It is our hope that this new thinking continues to grow
and expand. This year Electric Yacht added the
"H-Drive Hybrid" system to our products and we have just announced the "Gen-Drive
Hybrid" systems.
We are also announcing new business:
- ELCO Motor Boat systems
- Voltboats electric kayaks
- Battery from East Penn, Lifeline, US Battery, and Valance (LiFePO4)
There are many exciting plans for the company and we are going to several boat show to meet you in person.
- 1/24-27/13 San Diego Big Bay Boat Show - San Diego Sun Road Marina
- 4/11-14/13 Strictly Sailing Pacific - Oakland Jack London Square
- 10/24-27/13 Strictly Sailing Long Beach - Rainbow Marina
If
you are interested in joining us at any of these show, let us know. We will have boats available to demonstrate at San Diego
and Long Beach.
