Go-Float brings Electric Boats to 2012 Marina Fest

Folks near Marina Del Ray, CA can come see a new Go-Float Fusion at the 3rd Annual Marina Fest this Saturday and Sunday May 19th & 20th.

Electric Supercar with Bugatti HP? Rimac now accepting reservations & deposits on the Concept One.

Fisker looks and Ferrari performance if this release is to be believed. Only 88 of these Concept Ones are being made by the Croatian-based Rimac. With 1,088 bhp and a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds, it almost seems too good to be true. The range is maybe the most alarming number: 372 miles. Unveiled at the Top Marques Monaco in April, this unbelievable electric vehicle could have a price tag near the $1m US mark.

This past weekend was overcast and rainy but nevertheless, I headed over to what is referred to as ‘The Village’ – a collection of entities on Spanish Water including restaurants, a dive school and a boat/kayak rental located across the street from the fisherman’s harbor on the Caracasbaai.

Curaçao Electric Boats offer a selection of electric boats that run on batteries charged on site (very soon by way of solar power!) and can be rented for a minimum of a two hour time period.

Dark Side of the C63 AMG Black Series – Mercedes Benz

510 horsepower, zero to 60 in a minuscule 4.2 seconds, and the styling of a road-ready Batmobile. Great video – 45 seconds is the money shot. Little bit faster than our electric boats, but at the price of a small cottage, some of us will just have to be content cruising along at 4mph instead of 4 seconds.

Electric vs Gas Engines – Torque and Top Speed

Electric propulsion can give you more torque, and even a higher top speed. The VECTOR Sport Series from Go-Float Electric Boats is designed to take advantage of this fact and give you a boat that is fast and fun, that will let you play where gas powered boats can’t. Check it out!

Go-Float QR Codes and More Info

We’ll be trying out a new method of collecting contact info and keeping in touch with our customers and fans. Since we started using Mail Chimp we’ve designed a form that allows you to scan a QR Code and quickly enter your email in one step. Once we have your address, we can automatically send you more info about our boats, or details to your purchase. Keeping printed materials down, and using the latest technology to enhance our customers’ experience are two things we strive for here at Go-Float so the QR sign-up method should make this process easier on you, us, and our planet.
