ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly boating has now become reality with the release of the all new, Platinum i4 electric boat. Whisper quiet, with a stability that can only come from having twin hulls, the Platinum i4 has the interior room of a much larger boat and luxurious seating for five adults.
With an overall length of 4.26 metres and a beam of 2.03 metres the twin electric motors will propel you at a speed of almost 8 knots (14 kph) with a running time of ten hours before you need to plug into its onboard battery charger and, what’s more, forget conventional steering wheels, this boat is operated by a single joystick control.
Designed and built to stringent US Coast Guard and CE regulations, the Platinum i4 features built-in positive flotation, stainless steel pull out cleats, telescopic swim ladder, large storage compartments, navigation lights, integrated backlit dash panel, removable bimini top and intuitive joystick steering.
Victorian-based JV Marine World is Australia’s sole distributor.
LOWRANCE last week launched its Elite 4 and Mark 4 sounder and sounder/GPS combo units in a media event held at Narabeen Lake north of Sydney.
