How Far Can Our Electric Boat Really Go?

Got Stamina? Until now, we honestly didn't know.

We're hitting the water to see exactly what our electric setup can handle while doing all the things we normally do: exploring coastlines, finding snorkel spots, and getting into a bit of trouble (because what's an adventure without something unexpected?). We hadn't intended on a "tool time" segment but then again, we never do.  But hey, we said we wanted this to be a "normal" day of cruising…and getting things stuck up your intake is about as normal as it gets.  Right?!  Plus Jason somehow volunteered himself for a man overboard drill at 17 knots!  It's a good reminder not to make statements you aren't willing to back up.  His pucker effect and landing was… well, you'll see. We share our honest thoughts on "range anxiety," all our data collected and even which speeds give us the most efficient performance. ____________ WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Things We're Most Curious About... GETTING OFF-GRID Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. TALKING TO STRANGERS People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving. ALTERNATIVE LIVING These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community. Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 How Far Can an ELECTRIC BOAT Go? 01:18 The Tender OC 330 02:40 ZeroJet Electric Motor 03:48 Best Gear for a Small Tender 09:34 Exploring Samal Island Coastline 10:34 Debris Stuck in the Jet 11:50 No Beach Access 13:15 How to Clean the Jet Impeller 16:56 Take the Boat Battery to Zero? 18:12 Acceleration and Man Overboard 20:57 Samal Island Freediving & Snorkel 23:40 A Crazy Oceanfront AirBNB? 24:22 Draining the Battery to LIMP MODE 26:25 Real Stats How Far Can the Electric Boat go? 32:59 Electric Range Anxiety 35:37 Big Takeaway for Electric Boats as a Tender ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #ElectricBoating #BoatLife #AdventureCouple #Catamaran #Sailboat #Travel #LifeStyle #SustainableCruising © Gone With the Wynns 2025
