Martin County Nautical Flea Market and Seafood Festival |
|
|
We like to try new stuff, so we are giving the Martin County Nautical Flea Market and Seafood Festival a shake. It’s held up un Stuart, Florida at the Martin County Fairgrounds (where else?). If you happen to not find a boat that you like, at least you’ll be able to kick back and have a great seafood meal. This show runs Fri-Sat-Sun so there is plenty of opportunity to stop by, buy a motor, and grab some 'chowda'. Yeap, we are from Boston. |

EPower Marine gets an additional tow vehicle |
|
|
| Spring was super busy with lots of motor packages getting shipped out all over the country, but once summer arrives in South Florida things tend to slow down (and heat up!) a bit. We have needed an additional tow vehicle for some time, so we decided to stimulate the economy and buy one! It's a new Dodge 2500 with a big Cummins Diesel under the hood (good for that biodiesel that we like so much). Now I can tow up to 13k lbs, so these boats are probably going to get allot bigger! |

Boynton/Delray Holiday Boat Parade |
|
|
| An annual holiday favorite that drew 59 decorated boats participating in the 10 mile parade this year. You couldn't miss our Lear demo boat, the 'Sound of Silence' all lit up! The weather was perfect so no need for the EZ2CY windows or heaters this year! We had the original 'Grinch' soundtrack playing on the CD, of course. |
|
| Most of the other boats use loud gas generators to power their string of lights. We simply plug into a 1000 watt inverter that runs off of the battery bank for quiet, safe 120v power- yet another advantage of electric boats! |

West Palm Beach Home Show |
|
|
| Sure, it's a home show, but the Lear is as much an extension of your living room as it is a boat! With comfortable couch like seating, fine wood furnishings and detail, a fabulous sound system, wet bar/fridge, and a 'bathroom' down at the end of the hall, this boat qualifies! EPower Marine had the only 2 boats in the entire show, and we were happy to be in the 'Green Pavilion' hosted by Florida Public Utilities Commission. |

In addition to the Lear 204 we will have the Torqeedo 'Cruise' Electric Outboard Motor made in Germany (first appearance in Florida!).
