The Canadian electric boat Fantail 217 – A Full Day of Fun for About 50 Cents in Electricity.

Published February 23rd, 2017 by Bernardo

 

 

The electrical-powered Fantail 217 is inspired by the graceful fantail launches that have been navigating on the Thames, the Hudson River and wild Canadian lakes for more than a century. A truly remarkable craft. Fantail 217 can accommodate up to ten guests and will surely attract attention wherever you dock. The Fantail is silent, non-polluting, easy to handle, low maintenance and inexpensive to operate. Go picnic on the lake with a snack and a bottle of wine, sit around the retractable table and relax! it’s a fabulous new way to take your family and friends out on the water

 

The Fantail 217 features a canopy roof that not only protects from the sun and rain but can also be easily lowered to serve as a tonneau cover when the boat is stored or towed. Zippered roof openings are provided on both sides for easy in-and-out access. Ample storage space is available under decks and seat benches. A recharge with a 110V outlet is all that is needed to enjoy up to 10 hours of safe boating. All CEBC’s boats are equipped standard with a battery indicator.
