Real-World Electric Test
The Aqua Electric team tested the Pure Watercraft Highfield 420 Rigid Inflatable Boat.
The test took place in Seattle. Bruno from The Green Boater was with them.
They explored the RIB’s simple controls, powerful instant torque, and impressively quiet motor.
It uses modular, removable 8.8 kWh high-voltage battery packs built in Seattle.
The boat features a trim graph for precision and a large prop for efficient propulsion.
Pure Watercraft’s team culture is rooted in a passion for rowing, sailing, and making boating more sustainable and enjoyable.
Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
