Hinckley's first all-electric model (2017), built alongside its conventional jet-drive Picnic Boat range, designed from the ground up for electric propulsion by Michael Peters. Twin 80hp Torqeedo Deep Blue electric motors and TWO 40kWh BMW i3-derived lithium-ion battery packs (80kWh combined) — this figure is now supported by 2 of 3 sources checked (2018 boats.com/YachtWorld launch review and a 2025 EV Magazine feature), so it is treated as the primary spec, superseding an earlier update to this entry that had followed MBY (2023), which listed a single 40kWh pack and 2x50kW motors instead. Resin-infused carbon fibre/epoxy construction, ~6,500 lbs. Composite/titanium construction disguised as traditional teak-and-stainless — even the "teak" is hand-painted faux wood. Range ~40 miles (35nm) at 10mph (8.7kn). Price converted from $545,000 (2018) / "$500,000+" (2025 source) — broadly consistent over time. Still worth confirming the exact current-year spec directly with Hinckley before publishing, since one of three sources disagrees.

RESOLVED (previously flagged as a conflict): twin 80hp Torqeedo Deep Blue motors and TWO 40kWh battery packs (80kWh combined) is now the primary spec, supported by 2 of 3 sources (2018 boats.com/YachtWorld launch review; 2025 EV Magazine feature). A single MBY (2023) source instead reported 2x50kW motors and a single 40kWh pack — kept here only as a minority-source footnote, not the primary figure. Charges 0-100% in 4 hours via dual 50A shore connections.
