Why would you put electric hybrids on a boat and reduce it’s capacity by adding all that fargin bulk with batteries?
If you are Barack Obama you would do it because one or more of your butt-buddies is involved in the “green energy” fraud - I mean, “business” - no, I mean fraud - and you want to line his/their pockets with millions, if not hundreds of millions, of taxpayer dollars (less your kick-back of course).
