An eventual price of $70k doesn't sound unreasonable for this particular offering, but the technology is hardly a lock for other applications.]]>Mar 17th 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/Mar 18th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/Mar 16th 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/aptera-co-founder-debuts-epic-23e-hybrid-electric-wake-boat/- Hip Hop sound track

Any boat can move on the water and pull a water skier...In fact, what evidence do we have that this boat was even electric to begin with? For all we know, that was just a regular smoke-pot inboard engine! If they want to make a video extolling the virtues of a hybrid boat, show the engine! Show the control unit! Get rid of the stupid music and let us hear the high-pitched whine of an electric motor revving up to pull a wake-boarder! That's what we need...not some advertising wonk's idea of "cool tunes" and unbelievably ugly graphics.
