€330,000 hydrofoiling electric boat ride! : Candela C-8 

Thats the thing and daam it looks stupid😂

Thanks! 😃

New bater hold 20 oervt more teange. 68. Mile rsnge

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Exactly so. It won't suit everyone, but it will be fine for a lot of day boaters.

The point is that soon you won’t be able to buy a diesel boat.

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

Where did you find that info? There's a reason why Candela hides almost all of its technical data, battery sizes, consumption figures, everything. No transparency, no honesty in their stated figures. And of course no disclosure about what happens when the battery overheats when traveling for a long time in hot hot weather, or the consumption for heating the battery in cold weather. Anyway, pretty impossible to have a conversation here on advertising-tube where advertisers determine what we can say here and RU-vid shadowbans most comments. No open exchange of ideas on a platform like this where they hide your comments from everyone!

You're very welcome! 🙂

Thanks for watching! 🙂

@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍

Sadly not

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

Very true. It's always been a challenge getting power from the motor in the boat down to the water. With electric drives they just fit the motors directly on the foils.

@@AQUAHOLIC yea I noticed it looks like the rear foil actually turns with the drive pod, interesting engineering, in fact looks you could actually put front drive pods on if you really needed to, fun times we live in.

Yup! It's remarkable!

😄

Thanks!

I seem to recall 16 knots

You're very welcome! 🙂

The same company (Candela) is developing larger taxi boats as well.

You're welcome! 🙂

This was the C8, cabin is in the front

True! 😄

Imagine blasting through a no wake zone at 20 knots😂😂😂

If you're planning to go round twice, you'll need a different boat. 🙂

Thank you!

What do you base your claim: "Electric boating is the way forward" on? I totally disagree: electric boating is destructive to society and is not environmentally friendly. I don't see how fully carbon fibre constructed small boats are in any way a great thing either. Foiling boats on the other hand seem great...once they are fully developed some time in the future. With internal combustion engines of course, not the horrible and polluting electric drivetrains.

Indeed! 😄

I'll let her know! 🙂

I've got to be honest, I was too excited to remember to look! 😄

There’s a cabin in the front

Haha, if you believe what a company like that says about their range...

Fair enough, but they got to start somewhere. 🙂

You too!

🤔

Which technology? Foiling: I agree. Electric drivetrain: I absolutely disagree. Full carbon fibre construction will likely go down in price but won't be affordable (or necessary really) for decades because of other materials also being further developed and also changing in price.

@@pistonburner6448 you forget the bullshit about censoring in that comment. Really letting yourself go :(

Wind powered boats be like ...

Be good in an Italian lake

@@neiltitmus9744 What if there were 6' waves in the Italian lake? 😄

And the higher density batteries coming on sale later in the year. 120-150 mile range now perfectly possible. Which for a days boating is more then enough. It's a great tech

Imagine what could be achieved with internal combustion engines. It's important to separate the good aspect of this boat from the ridiculously horrible aspect of this boat: The good: the hydrofoil system The horrible: the battery-electric drivetrain And then you need to separate all the other super-expensive stuff in addition to the foiling which gives it good efficiency like the fully carbon fibre construction.

@@pistonburner6448 boating can not exclude itself from the need to stop with combustion engines. It does not have an innate right to keep burning stuff when every other transport segment has gone combustion free. There is no reason now why cat D and C boats are not electric already. They could easily be so. And I fully expect that if they don't move towards getting rid of combustion engines, then legislation will force them.

@@patrickjr11 I am pretty new to this. Do you which propellor designs and battery tech are mentioned? I would like to dive deeper. Thanks.

@@patrickjr11 "Need to stop with combustion engines"?? What?? Why would there be a need to "stop with combustion engines"? "Combustion free"?? What are you talking about? Why would boating have to go "combustion free"? Do you also not at all understand the basics of this industry, of environmental technology, of economics? Do you not understand how expensive electric vehicles are and what they do to society?
