Boaters seeking sustainable solutions to reduce carbon emissions without sacrificing their passion for boating will be excited by the Four Winns H2E electric bowrider boat.
The H2e electric bowrider boat has been launched by Four Winns, marking the company's entry into the electric boating market.

Four Winns has partnered with Canada's Vision Marine Technologies to provide propulsion from their 180e rotary electric outboard motor, a powerplant known for its quiet operation and low running costs. Four Winns states that the H2e was developed to meet contemporary customer needs for ease of use and sustainability.
Performance Numbers At A Glance
The boat has a top speed of approximately 35 knots (40 mph) and features a fully integrated onboard charger for quick recharging at dock shore power systems. The 180E outboard will deliver peak power of 230HP (equivalent) with rapid acceleration and the boat will have the same precise handling as their gas powered models. The state-of-the-art e-propulsion system consists of two (2) high voltage, high density, 700v battery packs, complete with a fully integrated powerful onboard charger that can be plugged into any dock shore power system, for quick recharging wherever you go cruising.
