Not quite ready...

One of the wonderful things about modern life ( though I am still waiting for my Jet Pack!) is that so much information is available at the click of a mouse...Case in point the pretty great Blog NAVAGEAR ( a daily read for me) has been in and out of the Seattle boat show and has a great eye for neat "stuff" one such being the wooden runabout by Edison Marine which is a very interesting and lovely boat driven by Electric propulsion.

What a sweet ride and you got to love the Zilla water cooled controller!

One of the constant murmurs that one does hear when electric propulsion is a talking point is that the technology is just not ready and years in the future ( Yeah just like my jet pack) but the fact of the matter is that it is already quite up to the task and just keeps getting better and more available all the time...
