NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  The raucous rumble of combustion engines is fading, systematically replaced by the high-performance hum of electric propulsion that's transforming every aspect of transport. Electric cars have moved mainstream with both automakers and upstarts offering multiple mobility options. Now another market is being disrupted, as sleek electric boats glide across the water leaving nothing but a whisper of ripples in their wake. This surge in electrification isn't just about a clean and green conscience; it's about performance, convenience and a technological transition in mobility that may be as profound as the shift from the horse to the horseless carriage. The producer of the world's most powerful and most technically advanced electric outboard motor on the market today, Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) (Profile), is a recognized global leader, innovator and disruptive force in the electrification of recreational boating. The company is at the vanguard of transition, challenging the status quo of conformity alongside big players such as Brunswick (NYSE: BC) and yacht purveyor MarineMax (NYSE: HZO) by electrifying the waterways much like Winnebago (NYSE: WGO) intends to do and what Telsa (NASDAQ: TSLA) has already accomplished on land.

Key Points: 
  • Now another market is being disrupted, as sleek electric boats glide across the water leaving nothing but a whisper of ripples in their wake.
  • Performance boats with electric hearts offer exhilarating speeds and instant torque, all while leaving the water pristine.
  • Unlike traditional, noisy gas-powered boats, Vision Marine's E-Motion powertrain offers electric boats a smooth, powerful, near-silent ride that boaters love.
  • The electric revolution is surging across transportation, propelling both cars and now boats into a cleaner, quieter future.
