EV Boat outboard motor?

Watch this video.  They put a 50hp EV motor in a jon boat.  Check out all the batteries.  I guess they are wet cells, but you'd still need a lot of lithium ($$$) batteries to run 25mph. I don't think you'll be pulling up to a service dock and swapping those out for fresh ones when they are almost dead.  Looks fun though, and the sound is better than an ICE.

You've got 2 guys sitting in the back and the boat still planes out GREAT......So it can't be THAT MUCH weight.
