Elco Boatbuilder Network

Elco, the original electric boat company, pioneered electric propulsion more than 130 years ago. We reinvented it a century later with modern, efficient electric motors propelling our own line of fiberglass launches while also powering electric inboard and outboard boats of all shapes and sizes.

Elco continually leads the charge toward electric propulsion with award-winning innovation and patented designs that are compact, efficient and reliable. Our battery flexible engineering leverages industry leading technology, including solid-state batteries that maximize performance with double the power per pound in far less space compared to wet-electrolyte lithium. We offer battery configurations or our motors utilize many battery brands. Elco’s unsurpassed integration connects to navigation displays and other NMEA 2000 compatible systems aboard. Our DASH app brings those benefits, and more, to wireless and wearable screens.

Today, as the mainstream boating industry embraces electric propulsion, it’s no surprise Elco is again at the forefront. Our electric propulsion solutions deliver robust power comparable to traditional gasoline or diesel engines, but without the noise, vibration, fumes and required maintenance. Elco’s vast experience interacting with electric boaters helps us make boating cleaner, greener and better with our electric propulsion products, and we are providing those advantages to an ever-increasing fleet of electric-driven production boats.
