Does look like fun, but let's face it, 50 nautical miles is nothing on the water. I guess if you're on a lake the just under 60 mile range is enough to water ski but it's definitely not suited to deep water. And all carbon fiber, must cost a pretty penny. Great idea, hopefully battery technology innovates to give products such as this one a more practical use case.

I’ve done plenty of fishing 40 miles offshore in NC on a boat this sized. I can’t imagine anyone riding 80 miles in the ocean for “fun”. It is 5 hours of suck to catch fish. 60 miles seems like more than enough for day cruising. That being said, this boat is a total no go in NC due to draft... day cruisers have skiffs and sandbar parties.
