Carolina Electric Boats has developed a super electric fishing and leisure boat. They refer to it as Twin Troller, because it has two powerful electric motors in hollowed out channels underneath. This patent pending design makes for a very maneuverable boat that can turn in a very tight circle. It gives full new meaning to the saying, “turns on a dime”. Moreover, the boat can run through weeds, logs, dead fish and whatever else may be floating around in the water.

Talk about sneaking up on fish. This boat is so quiet, you have to have seriously good hearing to hear it running. It is really nice to go into a quite swamp and check out birds, and animals without scaring them to death and smoking them out.

What I really appreciate is the low cost of operation. What with gas at almost $4.00 per gallon, one can really appreciate going out and coming back with a lot more money in one’s pocket than if one had to fill up the gas tank of a conventional boat.

The price tag at $1,895.00 is surprisingly low considering the boat’s features and potential longevity.

Talk about a super Christmas gift. The recipient of this boat would be one happy camper.

Here below is a picture, and there are many more including videos at the Twin Troller web site.
