What a buyer should know
Who it suits
This is the least exotic way to buy a fast electric boat, and that is precisely the point. The hull is a Scout 215 Dorado — a conventional, well-understood fibreglass dual-console bowrider from an established American builder — with Flux Marine's own 100 electric outboard, rated at 150 hp peak, on the transom. The target is a buyer who wants an electric boat that looks, loads, trailers and docks like the petrol bowrider they already know. Nine seats and a Permateak deck confirm it is a family day boat rather than a technology statement.
What the numbers imply
Eighty-four kilowatt hours against 112 kW means sustained full throttle would empty the pack in well under an hour, so the published 26 nm range describes mixed use with a good deal of it below the 27.8-knot top speed. That is a realistic figure honestly stated, but it is short: a foiling rival extracts considerably more distance from a smaller battery, because a planing hull pays an efficiency penalty no drivetrain can recover.
Caveats: no price appears in our records, which for a boat of this type is the single most important missing number. The novel component is the outboard, so a buyer's questions belong with Flux's warranty and service network rather than the hull — and European availability through the Scout dealer chain should not be assumed.
Written from the builder’s published specifications and the wider market, not from testing the boat ourselves. Always confirm figures with the manufacturer before committing.
