I haven't really heard of hybrid boats before but it makes sense to develop gas and electric hybrid motors for them.

Hybrid boats is something new. Hope, they're created for peaceful purpose!

Hybrid boats? That sounds like a pretty smart idea, you would think it would be pretty easy to utilized solar power for a boat as well. I wonder if the technology will eventually be picked up and used in commercial cruise ships.

Will that be economically cheap? One point is that this is a new technology but the other are the money...

I know some of these boats used gas turbine engines which proved to be more effiecent than the typical gas piston engines. A hybrid system may be just the innovation that this industry needs to rejuvenate itself.

The problem with these systems tend to be the batteries. While lithiom ion batteries offer the best power to weight ratios, they have proved to be somewhat unstable and prone to fires if overheated. This would be a major problem on a boat.

Hi there.
Is this boat safe enough? Don't want it to go the way Spanish ship did a week ago. I'm not going to set my foot on the deck of the Titanic.
