BRISTOL,
R.I., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Flux
Marine (www.fluxmarine.com), has officially announced the
launch of its newest boat package, the Electric Scout 215 XSF. The
company, known for developing all electric outboard motors and
batteries for powerboats, is now breaking into the center console
market with this bold and exciting new product.
Paired with the innovative 100HP electric
outboard from the Flux Marine, the Electric Scout 215 XSF enters
the market at an attractive price point of $120,000. With the equivalent acceleration power
of 150HP, the motor propels the boat to 30 mph and offers a range
of 30 miles at 25 mph, plus the ability to travel nearly 100 miles
at lower speeds.
The motor boasts ultra-low maintenance, quiet
operation, and impressive performance - making it the ideal choice
for those seeking a thrilling boating experience. With a simple
push of a button, the motor effortlessly starts without needing
engine checks or stops at the fuel dock. The Electric Scout 215 XSF
is designed for day trips on the water, with a comfortable beam of
8' 6" and an overall length of 21' 6". The deck offers a range of
standard amenities, making it suitable for activities from coastal
fishing to leisurely cruising.
Flux Marine offers convenient, versatile charging
solutions that work with standard power outlets, shore power and DC
fast chargers, allowing a charge from 20% to 80% in under 90
minutes. This ensures minimal downtime between adventures and makes
boating more cost-effective. The Scout 215 XSF is built by Scout
Boats in Summerville, South
Carolina, while the outboard and battery pack installation
takes place at Flux Marine's assembly facility. The boat package
includes the electric outboard, battery pack, throttle, Flux UI,
and a mobile companion app, making it a practical and innovative
solution for boaters.
By leveraging Scout's renowned expertise in hull
manufacturing, Flux Marine can concentrate on its core competencies
in electric propulsion including enhanced thermal management and
power electronics, while Scout continues to produce their
well-crafted hulls. The first production deliveries began in July
and can be ordered via Flux Marine's website.
Commenting on the launch, Flux Marine CEO
Ben Sorkin said: "The idea
behind Flux Marine is to provide a better, more efficient method of
boat propulsion. Our 100 HP outboard hits the sweet spot, capable
of propelling a 22 ft boat like the Scout XSF for almost any
activity on the water. Our goal is to evoke excitement and
innovation while ensuring users feel comfortable with what's
powering their boat."
