A friend of mine told me once ‘The happiest day of my life was when I bought my first boat, the 2nd happiest day of my life is when I sold the boat!” That said, I love boating- and being out on the water. Nothing is worse than a noisy, toxic spewing power boat ruining your quiet little sail. But some people don’t like to sail, so there is another alternative- Electric Boats
I Just Gotta Tell Ya
- One hour of waterskiing can create nearly as much smog as driving from Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida
- Gasoline marine engines produce high amounts of air pollution, especially hydrocarbons, which then react to form smog.
- The average marine engine causes considerably more damage than a car engine for each hour it operates because they have far less effective emission controls.
Green Factor
- Quiet
- Reduces dependance on gas and oil
- Less Marine damage
