What they are saying......
Or, per the wisdom of Open AI, ChatGPT says...
Electric boats have several benefits over traditional gas-powered boats, including:
Environmental friendliness: Electric boats do not produce any emissions or pollution, making them a more sustainable and eco-friendly option. They also do not contribute to noise pollution, which can be disruptive to marine life.
Cost-effective: Although electric boats can be more expensive to purchase initially, they are typically less expensive to operate and maintain in the long run. They require less fuel and have fewer moving parts, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
Quiet operation: Electric boats are much quieter than gas-powered boats, which is not only more enjoyable for passengers, but also less disruptive to marine life.
Energy efficiency: Electric boats are more energy-efficient than gas-powered boats, as they convert more of the energy they consume into usable power. This means that they can travel farther on a single charge or battery pack.
Easy to operate: Electric boats are typically easier to operate than gas-powered boats, as they have fewer controls and require less maintenance. This makes them a great option for beginners or those who prefer a simpler boating experience.
