Because I’m at full throttle to be over 8 kts, I never run it for very long at that speed. 20 mins max, then I start feeling nervous. But, very often I’ll keep it at 5 to 6 kts for up to two and a half hours. By that time I’m usually down to 40% on the battery. (Keep in mind I have an extra...

Battery…. I don’t know if you can get a larger fuel tank but I bought my GL 40 from Bayport Yachts in Newport Beach and they added an additional battery for me. And it makes a pretty big difference. I’m often able to run for a few hours on electric only and still have 60% plus charge.

You’re correct, it hasn’t consistently been that high, but it has been consistently above 8 knots, and in the right conditions up to 9, so I’ve been blown away. Of course this is full throttle. And yes, I ended up picking up a Greenline 40. I love it. Now this particular boat does have an extra...

Thank you for the reply I really appreciate your reply. It’s so helpful to speak with people who have the boat and to get their thoughts and experience

I’m very interested in the Greenline 39. From all I’m seeing and reading, it seems like the right boat for me (port docking not withstanding). But what I’m hearing from people is that, here in California, the electric drive really isn’t strong enough once I’m out of the marina and out to sea...
