Isobel features a sleek profile with mid-century modern styling that draws inspiration from the elegance of 1950s Rivas. The vessel is carefully curated and designed to meet specific performance requirements. The recurring 2-mile commuter distance from her home dock to the mainland necessitates the ability to carry several passengers with endurance and reliability. She also emphasizes performance; a boat equipped for recreation and fun, including occasional tubing and waterskiing, with a top speed of 25MPH. Her stern platform allows for water access and facilitates fun for swimming and skiing. Her shallow draft makes trailer-launching viable even on a rudimentary ramp. Most exciting about Isobel, is the prospect of showcasing that an electric boat can outperform its traditional ICE counterparts.
Construction is underway at the Belmont Boatyard in Maine with an expected launch in 2024.
