An unexpected outcome of the Little Debbie effort and the requested article published in the ACBS quarterly periodical, Rudder, has been our inclusion in a substantial, multi-phase, multi-year, project fostered by Morgan State University and funded by Maryland Industrial Partnerships, further supported by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. This project is already well under way with the conversion of a 1979 25’ Donzi Regazza to 100% Electric. This common “bay boat” configuration features a deep-V hull and was chosen as a more valuable EV-Conversion benchmark, over a new and custom, high-efficiency platform. We believe that, if we can get this right, it will make great inroads toward saving existing boats from the landfill, reducing the environmental impact of recreational boating, significantly decreasing the overall cost of operation and ownership, increasing safety over gasoline engines, reducing noise on deck and below the water’s surface, and assisting in preserving those cherished family boats for generations. In September, the as yet unnamed boat is planned to be shown and demonstrated at ACBS Smith Mountain Lake show, near Roanoke, VA
Maryland Industrial Partnerships seeks opportunities for business development within the state to support retaining business and jobs in the state.
Maryland Department of Natural Resources has a charter to maintain a clean and safe environment for recreational boating and the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
