Jon Boat

With a larger, squared footprint, jon boats can carry more people and gear than a classic rowboat, but that’s only part of what makes them so popular. Their inherent roominess, stability and durability are an ideal platform for just about any waterborne avocation — the ultimate workboat for those who work at having fun. That’s why they’re found nearly everywhere, from running rocky rivers to cruising quiescent cypress swamps or riding salt marsh tides.

A Jon boat’s wide-ranging adaptability highlights Elco’s extensive electric outboard lineup. Strap one into a pickup bed, along with an EP-3, for ultimate off-the-beaten-path portability, or trailer one with an EP-50 for a no-compromise fishing tournament contender. Either way, enjoy benefits only electric propulsion gives, like whisper-quiet slow-speed stealth that won’t alert fish or wildlife. Pristine environments also benefit from zero exhaust emissions and zero chance to spill gasoline.

While the EP-5 and ultra-portable EP-3 propel any open boat just fine on small lakes, most jon boats begin to reach their full potential with larger motors.

10 hp electric outboard motor - EP9.9

EP-9.9

MSRP: $3,450
Voltage: 48 Volts
Suggested Battery (Ah): 90Ah – 120Ah
Comparable HP: 9.9HP

On small lakes, particularly when lake restrictions prohibit larger motors, Elco’s EP-9.9 pairs well with pontoon boats. 48-volt operation provides ample power while maximizing battery options and minimizing size and weight.

Electric Outboard Motor - EP20

EP-20

MSRP: $5,450
Voltage: 48 Volts
Suggested Battery (Ah): 165Ah – 225Ah
Comparable HP: 20HP

Where horsepower isn’t restricted, Elco’s EP-20 is a great choice for electric pontoon boat propulsion, particularly on larger lakes where wind and waves sometimes present more challenging conditions. The EP-20’s larger chassis turns a bigger propeller, which maximizes efficiency and also provides extra torque and increases response for smoother docking. 48-volt operation offers considerable flexibility in battery options.

Electric Outboard Motor - EP30

EP-30

MSRP: $7,950
Voltage: 96 Volts
Suggested Battery (Ah): 130Ah – 225Ah
Comparable HP: 30HP

Elco’s EP-30 is built on the same compact, lightweight frame as the EP-20, but its 96-volt batteries supply more continuous wattage to provide extra power for quick bursts of speed or while docking heavily loaded pontoon boats.

Electric Outboard Motor - EP50

EP-50

MSRP: $9,950
Voltage: 96 Volts
Suggested Battery (Ah): 165Ah – 300Ah
Comparable HP: 50HP

Elco’s EP-50 rides in a robust chassis that turns a large propeller. This true workhorse creates incredible torque for precise maneuvering in adverse conditions, even on large pontoon boats with lots of people aboard. 96-volt batteries draw ample continuous amps required to power large pontoon boats to double-digit speed while boaters benefit from quiet, smooth, clean operation combustion engines can’t match.
