Ingenity 23E yacht tour: This electric pontoon boat is a compelling package
At first glance the Ingenity 23E looks like a pontoon boat, however the hull is a tunnelled monohull giving it a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum of 26 knots.Throttle down to displacement speed and you’ll get up to 14 hours of continuous use from the largest 164kWh battery option. It shares its motor with the Nautique GS22E wake boat, meaning there’s more than enough torque for water sports, but here they have fitted it to a regular Mercury Bravo 4 sterndrive leg for easy, predictable handling.
