Features:
This test marks a first for BoatTEST.com, but to a great degree it inaugurates the whole new world of electric power on boats, as 2023 is shaping up to be the beginning of the beginning of the adoption of electric power boats. Today, we test the X Shore Eelex 8000, the highest profile electric boat in the world. She's an Innovative electric powered center console Cruiser water sports boat and entertainment platform all rolled into one.
The Eelex 8000 is different from any boat you've ever seen before. The fact that she's electric is just the beginning. First, she represents a transition to a new way of day boating being a part of mankind's evolution to sustainable power. Second, she's modular and can be configured in many different ways to fit any particular application and third she's remarkably seaworthy with a high bow, low center of gravity and
open transom. Finally, she's one of the quietest boats on the market, t hanks to her electric motor and inboard prop.
Performance:
The X Shore Eelex 8000 center console is unlike any 26 foot sport boat or center console you've ever seen.
She has a high bow, her transmit is open just as our around the world ocean racing sailboats, her bull works for also high in her center console. It's like that in American Outboard fishing boat.
She was purpose built to handle the offshore waters around Sweden, were conditions can quickly get nasty and her owners have to get home.
This sets apart from many other electric boats that are designed only for lakes and rivers. Her four foot eight inch high bowel will keep green water from coming aboard and just in case it does it'll immediately flush right out the transom. I think this is probably the safest 26 foot I've ever tested.
X Shore is about more than just the boat. It's about coming to terms with the future of the planet and taking care of it. So our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy it as we have.
X Shore is making a bold statement that all can see and is leading the boating industry into sustainable boating.
