MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, September 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vision Marine Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), the global leader in the electric recreational boating industry serving both OEMs and consumers, today announced it will showcase its E-Motion™ 180hp fully electric powertrain on a Starcraft EX 22 foot pontoon boat at IBEX 2021, taking place September 28th to September 30th in Tampa, Florida.
“Pontoon boats offer an “all-in-one experience”, for fishing, cruising, and all types of watersports. The versatility, combined with improved performance specs, is rising in popularity in this ever-growing segment of the recreational boating market,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies.
Pontoon boats represent approximately 20% of the recreational boating market, with sales of pontoon boats growing between 3% to 4% annually, while other boating segment sales are increasing at a rate of 2% to 3%, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (http://www.nmma.org/). Stratview Research estimates the pontoon boat market is estimated to reach $2.5 billion by 2025.
“The boomer generation have been the biggest buyers of pontoon boats, continued Alexandre Mongeon. “With buyers demanding increased speed and performance,” our E-Motion™ 180hp fully electric powertrain provides the ideal solution. Vision Marine looks forward to showcasing the performance capabilities of our truly disruptive technology at IBEX this week.”
Sea trials of Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ 180hp fully electric powertrain outfitted on a Starcraft EX 22-foot pontoon boat reached a top speed of 36 mph, more than 50% faster than the average pontoon boat speed of 22 mph.
The International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), North America’s largest trade event for recreational marine industry professionals, is owned and produced by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and RAI Amsterdam.
