Abstract
A marine vessel includes a hull assembly, and the hull assembly includes a deck assembly, a first battery assembly, a second battery assembly and an electric motor assembly. The deck assembly is contained within the hull assembly. The first battery assembly is located completely under the deck assembly. The second battery assembly is located completely under the deck assembly and is physically separate from the first battery assembly. The electric motor assembly receives electric power from the first battery assembly and the second battery assembly to propel the hull assembly through water during operation.
Claims19
A marine vessel, comprising:
- a hull assembly, the hull assembly comprising:
- a deck assembly, the deck assembly contained within the hull assembly;
- a first battery assembly disposed under the deck assembly, the first battery located in a stern region of the marine vessel equidistance from a starboard side and a port side of the marine vessel to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
- a second battery assembly disposed under the deck assembly and physically separate from the first battery assembly, the second battery assembly positioned within a midship region of the hull assembly, the second battery being elongated and extending from the stern region to a bow region of the marine vessel to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
- and
- an electric motor assembly to receive electric power from the first battery assembly and the second battery assembly to propel the hull assembly through water during operation.
A method of assembling an electric powered recreation boat or marine vessel, comprising:
- inserting an electric-powered motor assembly into a hull assembly;
- inserting one or more ballast assemblies into the hull assembly;
- inserting a first battery assembly into a stern region equidistant from a starboard side and a port side of the electric-powered recreation boat or marine vessel to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
- inserting a second battery assembly into a midship region, the second battery being elongated and extending from the stern region to a bow region of the electric-powered recreation boat or marine vessel to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
- placing a deck assembly onto the hull assembly such that the electric-powered motor assembly, the one or more ballast assemblies, the first battery assembly and the second battery assembly are disposed under the deck assembly.
