“What if your fishing boat had a USB port and no gas tank?” 😂⚡

[LuckyLittleFish]

Hey y'all
I'm still pretty new to this world. Just picked up my first bass boat not long ago — a sweet rig with a Merc 4 stroke that I've been loving so far. Still figuring out my go-to spots and dialing in how far I tend to run on a regular day. But you know how it is when you get into something new — your brain just runs wild. I started poking around online, and that got me wondering:

What if my next boat was electric?
I mean, realistically... most time I don't go more than 30 miles round trip. But the idea of being limited to that range? It's funny how that feels a little sketchy, even though I rarely go further now. So here's what I wanted to throw out to this awesome community:

🔋 If you had an electric fishing boat with a real-world range of about 30–35 miles, would that feel like enough?
I don't mean technically. I mean mentally.
Would that be enough for you to fish all day without stressing, or would you still be worrying about the "what if"s?

⚡️ And what kind of cool features could make you say, "you know what, that's worth it"?

Like:
• super quiet operation
• instant poewrful torque even at 1 mph
• rarely no maintenance
• maybe even software updates or solar trickle charging down the line?

Just a curious new guy having a ton of fun with this stuff — figured I'd throw the question out there and see where the conversation goes.
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from folks who've been around the game longer than me! Who knows — maybe 5 years from now we'll all be swapping lithium packs on the dock and bragging about our download speeds instead of RPMs 🤣

it's not about getting there.  it's about 'can I get back'?

that's been the deal for me with EVs (trucks, tow vehicles)...  once you put that motor under load, range goes to 'unacceptable'. 

add to it that re-charging takes way too long... IF you can find a station...
