It also seems to me that the prices for electric
boats (and parts) are far higher than they need to be.
I have rationalized this by saying they are small
production models and can not benefit from the savings of
mass production. Many electric boats also have much
fine woodwork which adds to the cost - yet the
electrical components themselves do seem to be high priced.
I think this will be a major handicap in getting
more folks to buy into the electric world. Paul Preuss
