The concept is sound, but yet to be proven in a boat ... although I would compare this boat with Tesla design and manufacturing qualities rather than Ford Focus Electric ... and draw my conclusions from that.

The good indicator of acceptance could be a number of boats on the market ... some 19 used and 23 new ones listed today on YachtWorld. That is much better than some of the established and/or recently defunct N. American brands, and much better than some competing startup brands.
