producing electric boats for more than a

producing electric boats for more than a hundred years but once the the gas motor

hundred years but once the the gas motor

hundred years but once the the gas motor started and that is at the beginning of

started and that is at the beginning of

started and that is at the beginning of the 90s now the market for the electric

the 90s now the market for the electric

the 90s now the market for the electric boat went down

boat went down

boat went down and it stayed down for many many years

and it stayed down for many many years

and it stayed down for many many years but now for the last say the last five

but now for the last say the last five

but now for the last say the last five to ten years it’s becoming more popular

to ten years it’s becoming more popular

to ten years it’s becoming more popular because of you know the quietness that

because of you know the quietness that

because of you know the quietness that you you can experience in these boats I

you you can experience in these boats I

you you can experience in these boats I guess I would be the main advantage

guess I would be the main advantage

guess I would be the main advantage right is it is a quietness compared to
