Electric boats seem like a great idea, especially with all the pollution the really large cruise ships put out. I’m happy to finally see this become mainstream. On the water there’s nothing to really get in the way of solar panels, either, so it makes sense to have them for charging.

There should be no superyachts no matter what powertrain

I disagree, but I also don’t have a problem with people or companies being wealthy enough to make or own them, either.

The sad part is that shit isn't even close to a "super" yatch. It's a very large fancy sailboat. A super yatch is a hole different ball game.
