Along the icy waters of Maine’s coast, a new kind of workboat is proving what electric power can handle. Built for utility and powered by our propulsion system, this all-electric vessel is making a strong impression in one of the country’s toughest maritime environments and drawing interest from others up and down the coast.

The Boat Yard in Yarmouth, ME has been putting it to the test—hauling equipment, transporting materials, and running it daily in every kind of weather. Even through a tough Maine winter, with single-digit temperatures and heavy chop, the electric propulsion system continued to exceed expectations with reliable, quiet, and emissions-free power.

“The boat performed flawlessly,” said Chad Strater, co-founder of The Boat Yard. “It’s become a reliable workhorse in our daily operations.” In a recent feature by the Bangor Daily News, the workboat’s performance, daily utility, and ease of use are on full display.
