The Cruise 6.0 is a 9.9 horsepower equivalent that will set you back just under $5,000. The 48-volt battery pack is another $5,000, and you’ll need a charger and a few other bits. One battery will give you just under an hour of run-time at full throttle, but luckily, you can stack the batteries to get more capacity and range. Alternatively, you can build your battery bank if you’re handy. Torqeedo sells the cables to connect to the motor.
The Cruise 6.0 is available with tiller steering (T) or remote control (R) or as a fixed-pod model. There are also 6, 20, and 25 horsepower replacements in the Cruise lineup.
Torqeedo also sell battery solutions, giving you a plug-and-play electric outboard for any boat.
Things we like:
-
Great option for small planing boats
-
High power and thrust output
-
Small form factor
-
Stackable batteries for more range
Things we don't like:
-
Total setup is four or five times the cost of a typical new 9.9-hp gas outboard
