Bear with me—I’m pretty new to electric boats and may be overthinking this.

I mostly fish smaller lakes, usually early in the morning, and I’ve started looking into whether an electric setup would actually make sense for that kind of use.

My biggest question is range. On paper, some of these setups seem like they’d be plenty for a normal day of fishing, but I’m curious what that looks like in the real world. Do you actually stop thinking about battery level after a while, or is range something you’re always keeping an eye on?

For anyone here who fishes with an electric setup, how long are you typically out, and have you ever had range become a real limitation?

Client is environmentally conscious and the architect wants actual Lacey Act documentation, so “yeah, it’s fine” isn’t enough. I’ve called four yards and none could provide any paperwork.

Am I asking for too much, or are people normally getting ipe with the compliance docs included?
