Electric-powered boat or marine vessel

A marine vessel, comprising:

• a hull;
• a deck disposed in the hull such that an inner volume is defined between the deck and the hull;
• a first power source and a second power source disposed in the inner volume, the first power source disposed in a stern region of the hull equidistant from a starboard side and a port side of the hull, and the second power source disposed in a midship region of the hull and axially extending at least partially between the stern region and a bow region of the hull to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
• and
• an electric motor configured to receive electric power from at least one of the first power source or the second power source to propel the hull through water during operation.

A marine vessel, comprising:

• a hull including a stern, a bow opposite the stern, a midship between the bow and the stern, a starboard side, and a port side opposite the starboard side;
• a deck disposed in the hull to define an inner volume between a surface of the deck and a surface of the hull;
• a first battery pack and a second battery pack disposed in the inner volume, the first battery pack located in a first region proximate the stern and a longitudinal axis defined centrally between the starboard side and the port side of the hull, the second battery pack located in a second region in the midship, the second battery extending at least partially between the stern and the bow, the location of at least one of the first battery pack or the second battery pack configured to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
• and
• an electric motor coupled with at least one of the first battery pack or the second battery pack.

A method, comprising:

• disposing an electric motor in a hull of a marine vessel;
• disposing a first battery in a stern region of the hull equidistant from a starboard side and a port side of the hull to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
• disposing a second battery in a midship region of the hull, the second battery being elongated and extending at least partially between the stern region and a bow region of the hull to increase stability and facilitate wake generation;
• and
• disposing a deck on the hull such that the electric motor such that at least one of the first battery or the second battery are disposed under the deck.
