Limestone announces electric outboard partnership with Vision Marine Technologies

Limestone Electric Outboard Partnership

June 24, 2021

The Collingwood, ON–based Limestone Boat Company plans initially to offer Vision outboards to its current conventional outboard powered 25’ to 29’ Limestone models, and Aquasport Center Console models, with single or twin-180 HP electric outboard options. Based on sea trials to date, regarding Vision’s, proprietary E-Motion electric outboard innovations and integrated systems, Limestone is excited about bringing an EV alternative to big water performance boats that delivers the operating times, average cruising speed, and cycle times that our coastal and inland customers demand.

“With electric vehicle (EV) technology coming more and more to the forefront in our lives, we wanted to provide our customers with reliable and dependable yet disruptive EV marine product offerings on our deep-V hull designs,” said Limestone’s CEO Scott Hanson. “Our partnership with Vision provides us the opportunity to bring groundbreaking performance, run times, and cruising speeds to market sought after by big water boaters. “Our new electric propulsion offerings will in no way replace our current outboard offerings, but rather complement them by giving our customers an alternative choice based on their particular needs and usage,” adds Hanson.

Quebec based, Vision Marine, went public in November 2020 with the world’s first fully electric outboard motor, amalgamating an advanced battery pack, inverter, and high-efficiency motor. It is hailed as a pioneer with a sleek and classic aesthetic that’s easy on the eye.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
