Today, we announced funding of $23.4 million (including some conversion of convertible debt raised earlier). When completed, this funding round will enable us to build out our team and production capacity to meet the needs of our customers.
We’ve spent the last 9 years developing the Pure Outboard – the highest performance electric marine propulsion system on the market (in terms of propulsion for its weight). While there are many different kinds of boats, the way to bring all of them into a new era that’s more enjoyable and accessible to more people than ever before is to develop groundbreaking technology from the ground up, and to find ways to power the boats people want.
To that end, we’ve recently announced complete boat packages – a pontoon boat, a bass fishing boat, and a rigid inflatable boat. These offerings make it easy for someone to choose a complete system, with the confidence of knowing that everything fits together well, and serves the purpose they intend. Pontoon boats and fishing boats are now the top categories of boat sold in the US, and rigid inflatables are the boats most often used as tenders on yachts.
To get to where we are, and where we’re going, we rely on our customers and others as part of our team. Your pre-orders, referrals, and ideas power us forward. The most powerful messages about our company, its mission, and our products come from you – at the boat ramp or dock, on Facebook or Twitter, or on Zoom calls with your friends.
Thank you for your continued support.

Here’s an example of the kind of support the awesome EV community provides:

Congratulations to you and the boating world. Gas and diesel are horrible for the marine environment. Electric is not only enviro-friendly, but much more enjoyable – silent, no spills or smells, safer. Sailing is great, but not practical for many – you’ve combined the benefits of convenience, pleasure and responsibility. Good luck!
Will you have dealers in Iowa or only selling direct?
We sell direct. Installation can be arranged locally where we don’t yet have a field tech nearby.
