What does Great Lakes Watercraft think?
Originally premiered in 2006, Torqeedo has drastically improved their high-performance electric outboards. The 2023 Torqeedo Cruise 6.0T is a 48V, 9.9 HP electric equivalent to any standard gas-powered outboards. It can power boats up to 12 tons. But also pairs nicely with larger size Takacats and dinghies.
With a single Power 48-5000 lithium battery, this e-drive gives you up to 2 hours of full-throttle runtime on the lightweight Takacat boats and runs for days at slower speeds. Need more range or speed? Depending on size and payload, this 9.9 HP motor will certainly get your Takacat on plane. A Takacat T420LX with a payload of ~500 lbs can expect top speeds of 17-20 mph.
Yes, we know. The Torqeedo Cruise Series bundles are much more expensive than a gas-powered outboard of the same horsepower. That being said, being on plane with a nearly silent setup is something special and very unique. Of course the additional added benefit is boating in an environmentally safe manner. It's an objective to introduce innovation that can help protect our Great Lakes and waterways hear in Michigan and across all of North America.
