And some guy that did some stuff before my adult children were even born to tell us all how absolutely game changing it is and why we need to buy it.

Honestly......I think game-changer ended with the 2016 model year. Now the G's are "Breakthrough" boats....with innovative being the new catch phrase.Comment

Looks like the M6 tower speakers are standard for all boats. I lot of folks put links for the G boats but they've already been taken down, can someone attach an image of the transom for 2020, please?Comment

2.5 hours of wakeboard time then 1-2 hours to charge. If they had quick-release battery packs that are easy to swap in and out, you could keep a few packs charged at the dock, and then swap them out throughout the day and charge the used packs while you are out on the water.Originally posted by greggmck View Post
I wonder if your ride time is lowered when you fill and drain ballast, and run the stereo?2019 SAN G23 | 2016 SAN G23 | 2013 Wakesetter 23 LSV | 2008 Wakesetter 23 LSV | 2003 Wakesetter 23 LSV | 2000 Wakesetter VLX | 1998 Sanger V210 | 1994 Magic Sceptor 28 | 1985 Cole TR2 | Too many PWC to count!Comment

most electric vehicles have a 12v "house" battery and a 240v+ motor battery, so not interchangeable. Pretty sure this will be the same.Comment

I don't think this is a point that matters. A battery with sufficient power density to push a 7 - 8,000 lb boat for 2.5 hours will be much too heavy to easily exchange...unless you have a crane at your slip.Originally posted by ducatidesmo View PostComment

I just started a new business .....just now...Texas Dock Lifts....Comment

Make sure you build your new dock lift to handle heavy batteries! If this screen shot is accurate it looks like the electric GS20 has a total battery capacity of 219 KW of energy. A Tesla Model S 100 KW battery weighs about 1200 lbs. Tesla uses state of the art Lithium Ion batteries to reduce weight. So to achieve 219 KW of energy density the GS 20 battery would weigh at least 2600 lbs. It looks like the screen shows this battery divided into 6 smaller modules so it is possible each battery module weighs at least 438 lbs.Originally posted by Kenv View Post

That's not what I was getting at. There was a question about lowering the battery life when playing audio or lights. Now that I think about it, the regeneration system on most electric cars is the brakes... no brakes on a boat.... I guess you could use a big *** paddlewheel... well, we'll see some innovative solutions soon.Originally posted by greggmck View Post

Sorry, it was not clear what you were responding to. Using energy (radio, ballast pumps, etc) in any electric vehicle will diminish the main battery charge, there is no free energy source to power anything. Even using the radio and other electronics in a gas powered car slightly reduces miles per gallon because the alternator load is present to recharge the 12V battery. In electric cars/boats the 12V battery is only there to power the systems that need to run continuously when the main battery is off-line. This is done for safety reasons. The main battery does power EVERYTHING including recharging the 12V battery so the fact that the batteries have different voltages doesn't really matter. Any high-voltage DC battery can be regulated to power 12 V systems. But you don't want a 219 KW battery directly and continuously powering your clock / radio / etc because if there is a short or accident things can get ugly very fast.Originally posted by ducatidesmo View Post
Regarding regenerative systems it would be possible to use the propeller to re-charge the battery when the throttle is pulled back and the boat is coasting. But clearly this would not be as efficient as regenerative braking in an automobile...Comment
