Survey of New Greenline 40 Electric 2025 - any advice?

@ScottC We thought the swim platform looked nicer and would help protect the trim tabs and stern thruster. Now it is fully in the water. My husband is in favor of getting rid of it. I am still considering.

We still think the props need to be changed or need some correction but have been enjoying tooling around in her.

Just as we hoped I am able to come home from work and we take her out for a couple hours and just enjoy tooling around. Since we never have to go to a fuel dock we can leave fully charged from our home dock.

Our longest trip so far was 34nm in 5hr 27min max speed 9.2kn avg speed 6.3kn and started with 100% of battery and ended with 34% left.

This week she is in the boat show so we are missing her but will have her back next week.

Did you ever get your vessel sorted? Was the swim platform mounted too low? Are you pleased with it?

Still working on the sorting. But have really enjoyed taking her out.
When she was hauled in early December to grind the props we looked at the swim platform and it had no growth on the metal supports under it. Did have growth on the swim ladder and the metal around the outer edge of the platform had lots of growth. My husband is still saying remove it and I keep feeling like the boat looks better with the swim platform, but it is dragging and in the water. So still under discussion. One more year and I may agree with him.

Unfortunately after going back in the water from that haulout there is now a much worse vibration. With weather, sickness, and holidays we haven't had a chance to do more investigation of that or take her out again. Was hoping to take her out this weekend but one rainy day and one 30knot gusts day have squelched that. She can take that wind speed but we don't need to be bounced around or fight it.

The owner of the Greenline dealer and his salesperson are going to go out on her with us in early Feb along with an experienced, recommended local propeller expert to determine what needs to be looked at to fix it and hopefully haul her after the sea trial and figure things out from there.

Taking this time to get some small things done like installing some Feit led motion sensor closet lights in the lockers and other areas, like under foot of master cabin bunk and under lockers in bathroom where we want lights to come on at night in a way that let's someone see where they are going and doesn't wake up the one sleeping or mess greatly with night vision. I really like these lights because no wires or screws are required and to recharge you just pull them out and plug them into USB then put them back on the little metal brackets and they stay there with magnets. But inside lockers they probably won't need to recharge for a while.
Only issue is no red light for them. We could cut out a transparent red filter and attach it over the white led and see how that works for in the bathroom at night. I am also wondering if being in a marine environment will be an issue for them. Will have to see how they are doing a year or so from now. Has anyone else ever tried these?

I expect the vibration issues to be worked out in time for us to take a trip down to Solomons in mid March.
But also hoping weather will give us a chance for more day trips before that.

I would still 100% recommend buying a Greenline.
