Elco Electrical Motors

The appeal of an electric boat has come full circle from its novelty at the 1893 World’s Fair and its widespread use in the years following — an era in which other power options included steam, gasoline, naphtha, and sail. Today, the power options are somewhat different (and certainly more safe), but the distinct advantages of the electric motor haven’t changed. And environmentally, there has never been a better time to go electric.

Owning an electric boat today means never having to wait for the engine to warm up. It means never needing to raise one’s voice to be heard over the drone of a diesel motor. A pleasant lack of oil and diesel or gas in the bilge. No money or time spent on engine winterization. No diesel or gasoline odor that masks the wonderful salty smell of the harbor or the crispness of the pines alongside the lake. With an electric motor, you experience the true scent and sounds of being on the water. READ MORE

About Elco Motors

Over the course of its impressive history, Elco has offered a variety of boats and yachts powered by a range of technologies, including steam, gasoline, naphtha, sail, diesel, and of course, electricity. Today Elco offers electric launches as well as custom boats and yachts powered by the mode of your choice.

Hand-crafted boats, electric and otherwise, are available from other manufacturers, so why choose an Elco?

For some, it is because only Elco offers such rich elegance and timeless styling in all our boats and motor yachts. Our electric fantail launches built today echo the lines of the 1893 boats with many original castings and handcrafted details not found in other electric boats. For others, it is because today’s Elco is built to exacting standards.

Every boat and yacht built by Elco Motor Yachts – regardless of whether it’s a production electric launch or a custom vessel designed and fitted to your specifications –  is crafted with superior attention to detail and always with the absolute highest quality materials and boat building techniques.
