First Ever Bamboo/Electric Runabout/Tender

As a technology enthusiast I am always thrilled to be a part of "first ever" developments, but this may be the most thrilling of all. You could call this innovation in the making: "The Tesla" of the Maritime Sector" ...as it is certainly just as disrupting to a heavily fossil fuel powered industry and with the use of exterior grade engineered bamboo it is perhaps the most sustainable powered watercraft ever. The Six 1 Conductor is the boat, and its designer and innovator; Marcel La Fond, he is the brains behind this all-electric runabout. Not only is this a show piece of innovation, this work of art and craftsmanship was built in about a month due to Marcel's proprietary processes and design. Integrating the latest technology of performance materials, CNC, and efficient assembly processes, the result is simply stunning!
Typically when encountering such a level of superior aesthetics and premium luxury one would subconsciously sore to the $250k range in price, but that is the key to the innovation behind the design and materials utilized as well as the technology of the all electric propulsion system by Torqeedo, it is quite cost competitive, especially when compared to other premium runabouts/tenders. Elon Musk is certainly a leader of innovation in the automotive industry and likewise Marcel La Fond is also disrupting an entire market.
Specs: 20 Feet, 80 Hp, 8 hour run time, SEB (Structural Engineered Bamboo) /Aluminum Composite Hull
