The Limestone Boat Company Places First Order for Fully Electric Systems for Its 2024 Model Year Serial EV Boat Production
September 21 2022 - 3:24PM
The Limestone Boat
Company (the “
Company”)
(
TSXV: BOAT | OTCQB: LMSBF) – owner and builder of
Aquasport Boats, Limestone® Boats and Boca Bay Boats – is pleased
to announce that it has placed an initial order for the first fully
electric propulsion systems to be installed on its 2024 Model Year
EV boats following the successful sea trial results of its Vision
Marine (
NASDAQ: VMAR) E-Motion™ electric
outboard-powered Aquasport 2100CC this summer.
The in-water testing fully validated the
Company’s EV engine partner Vision Marine as the preeminent
provider of high-performance electric power in the recreational
boating market, yielding impressive speed, operating and recharging
times, and handling results. The new EV model will debut later this
month in the Vision Marine Technologies display at the Fort
Lauderdale International Boat Show. Consumers there will be able to
place a deposit to secure one of the first-run production models
slated for delivery in Q4 2023.
The Limestone Boat Company will continue to
expand its electric footprint, integrating EV systems and upgrading
existing and future models to accommodate the demand from customers
looking for a quieter, emission-free boating alternative.
Additionally, the Company is identifying ideal geographic markets,
models, distribution, retail partners, and sales development given
the validation of the performance metrics and the Company’s
early-mover market opportunity.
“Our choice to partner with Vision Marine to
deliver a state-of-the-art EV boating experience has proven to be
the right one. We’re excited to move forward with this initial
order for Vision’s E-Motion powertrain and adding an EV offering to
our 2024 Model Year lineup,” said Limestone Boat Company CEO Scott
Hanson. “Showcasing the E-Motion powertrain’s capabilities, the sea
trials definitively demonstrated our partnership’s shared
commitment to safety, quality, and reliability. The performance and
stability of our renowned deep-V hull was not compromised in any
way, and was still compliant with the safety standards that the
Limestone Boat Company demands, which are above and beyond industry
compliance standards.”
Traditional internal combustion engine boat
sales remain strong and are expected to continue to grow, as
indicated by the strength of the Company’s order backlog and its
engine partners’ offerings, further reinforcing that conventional
propulsion will remain an emphasis of the Company for the
foreseeable future. As consumer interest and adoption of
electric-powered boats increases however, the Company will be at
the forefront of the transition, established by its early EV engine
partnership and integration commitment. The Company’s EV offering
will provide customers with a reliable and dependable boating
experience featuring groundbreaking electric power performance that
won’t compromise the expectations and ride characteristics for
which the Company’s Brands and Models are renowned.
