So begins our journey! I’m Eric, a co-founder of the company along with my university buddy Greg. When we first conceived of this company in 2023 we outlined some very lofty goals, and while we will still strive for them eventually, we had to reign them in a fair bit during while setting up the company. While we’re both serial entrepreneurs over the past 30 years (including a jointly-owned company in the past), it still seems to surprise us what investment is required (both time and money) with each new venture!
For the immediate future we’ve decided to focus on only electric outboard motors for small vessels.
We’ve been fans of ePropulsion and have chosen to offer this brand exclusively, despite an explosion of competing brands over the past couple of years. The reason is due to innovation, the level of quality and their focus on design. Their product designers pay attention to little details, and you can tell they use their own products frequently (so many technology products are released by companies who you can tell have never experienced the product as a user). Basically, they design their products how we would design them.
One goal of ours that we won’t scale back is our desire to be known as the guys that provide stellar customer service. The good old-fashioned kind of customer service where you bend over backwards to ensure the customer is delighted.
If you have been toying with the idea of an electric motor, do yourself a favour and check them out. It is a truly remarkable piece of technology that offers some real benefits that you’ve likely never considered before, but after experiencing one you’ll find you simply can’t live without them.
If you’re in the Victoria, BC area, contact us and we’ll be glad to take you out in our boat where you can try out an electric outboard and ask all the questions you want.
We hope to talk all things “electronautical” soon. Until then, it’s back to work—we’ve got some pretty cool things planned for 2024.
