Shockingly Good Alternative

Now entering
its 27th year, Florida-based Ray electric is on a roll.
For over a quarter-century
the company earned a healthy reputation for viable electric alternatives
to standard marine power. With its steady growth over the past year
with its 36 and 48-volt outboard systems and its recent introduction
of the new 60-volt outboard, the company's engine production has
grown twofold.
Growth of Ray
reflects the growing number of "electric-only" lakes popping
up around the country. These water bodies account for 90 percent
of Ray's sales and the amount of those lakes jumps every year.
It's easy to
see why: Electric-powered outboards are much quieter, less damaging
to the environment and boast incredible longevity. (Practically
every engine built since 1974 is still in service.)
Specifically, Ray has a very strong market among boaters in lakes
communities. These are typically the folks who would prefer quiet
cruising over high performance.
The Ray Electric
outboard is available in short- and long-shaft models, console or
tiller, which provide from 136 to 270 pounds of thrust, easy installation
and complete one-year warranty on parts and labor.
Overnight charging only costs about a buck, and that gives the engine
a comfortably long range before needing to be recharged.
A perfect match
for this power plant is just about any pontoon or deck boat, and
especially for a large group of people who just want to kick back
and enjoy some clean, relaxed and quiet boating.
