Two new hybrid boats have been announced by CraigCat as their new products with zero water pollution. The non-hybrid CraigCat boats used the same quantity of fuel in just one hour. The new crafts are powered both by gas and electrical energy and they are named CraigCat Hybrid and CraigCat E2 Hybrid.
The models include 2 deluxe seats, a convertible bimini top for sun protection, and a powerful 55-pound thrust electric motor that doesn’t pollute the water. They have great stability, are non-sinkable, and the E2 Hybrid differs from the other by having twin 55 Watt halogen docking lights, anchor light, two NAV lights, and a fishing rod holder for four rods.
Craig Catamaran has been creating CraigCats since 1990 in Orlando, Florida, and based his designs on providing small stable and comfortable boats. The two models presented above cost between $5684 and $6000.

wow… and I thought people couldn’t get any dumber after the Gravia scandal.
55lbs of thrust? Powerful is not the correct word. 50lbs of thrust is just barely enough to pull a 200lb human through the water at 2.5 mph (look up the stats on the Aeris Voyager).
Now imagine pulling 400lbs of boat, plus 180-525lbs of load.
That sucker is never going to hit speeds over 3mph. That’s not even good for trolling. WASTE!

You’re forgetting one important factor…these craft do not ride IN the water, they ride ON the water. 55lbs of thrust is more than enough to move a craft that is not displacing any water. See http://www.craigcatchicago.com for more info and for videos of the craft in action. Thank you!
