Electric Dreams, Inc. Duffy Boat Dealer








 

Duffy BoatQ: Can I custom order my Duffy?
A: Of Course! You are the customer and Electric Dreams, Inc. is committed to providing the boat YOU desire. We offer our widest range of solid hull colors, optional features, material upgrades and power systems of any electric boat builder, so you can personalize your Duffy.

Q: What kind of warranty is provided with my Duffy?
A: Duffy is the only electric boat builder to warranty its motors, controllers (the brains of our system) and propellers for LIFE! The Trojan deep cycle marine batteries have a three year warranty. All of our other original equipment is covered for 1 year. For details please click here.


Q: How much does it cost to charge my Duffy?
A: Based on the average kwh rate of $.12, we have calculated that the average cost is less than $1.00 to recharge your Duffy. We have simply calculated the total watt-hours in our battery pack, then converted to kilowatt-hours. Essentially, the measurement of energy to replace in the batteries. Very inexpensive when compared to the cost of gasoline or diesel.

Q: How long does it take to recharge my Duffy?
A: Over night. The standard battery pack can be recharged in 12 hours on average. Standard 110 AC household current is all that is required for the onboard "Smart Charging" system. Most docks are equipped with this type of circuit. A simple and convenient overnight charge readies the boat for full operation day after day. Charging is completely automatic, and simply requires plugging the cord into our twist lock inlet located inside the boat. There is no need to turn the battery charger off. Once the batteries are fully charged, the "Smart Charger" shuts off automatically!

Q: How long will a Duffy cruise?
A: All Day! Our standard battery configuration provides up to 10 hours of cruising on a full charge. This is based on average cruising speeds, ranging from cruising speed (4.5 knots) to full speed (6.5 knots). Our boats come equipped with a digital energy gauge, which gives you real time energy/time remaining, at all speeds. This exclusive Duffy feature keeps the skipper informed and eliminates any concern of running out of power.

Q: Who is the boat for?
A: The Duffy Electric Boat Company was founded in 1970, and pursued the residential waterfront markets for electric boating. It has become highly successful in areas which are speed controlled (no wake zones, 5-6 knot speed for all boats) or where NO GAS POWER boating is allowed. We have found a tremendous number of boaters and non-boaters who are seeking a quiet alternative to messy and loud outboards. Additionally, they are drawn to the ease of operation and the minimal maintenance required. The well designed interiors and classic lines have proven to attract a wide range of customers around the world.

Standard Features
All Fiberglass Construction: Each Duffy model is constructed from quality fiberglass for long life and durability. High quality armor-coat and UV protective gel-coats are combined with vinylester resin to insure lasting luster and strength. The materials used throughout the boats make them easy to maintain and strong enough to withstand heavy use as well as the natural effects of saltwater environments.

High Power Electric Motors:
The motor is a "Whisper Drive" motor manufactured by Advanced DC Motors and designed specifically for Duffy Boats. Standard power is provided in a powerful 48 volt system.

Advanced Battery and Charging Systems:
The latest developments in high frequency charging (standard on all models) allows for customers to choose a totally maintenance free battery system. This eliminates the need to monitor and replace water in the battery pack. Recharging is quicker, and now provides the Duffy owner with additional information about the boat’s state of charge.

Speed/Duration:
Duffy models have a top speed between 5.5 and 7.5 miles per hour and can operate up to 8 hours on a single charge. Our 30’ model is equipped with a 96 volt power system, providing a speed of 9.5 mph.

Amenities:
Each Duffy comes with a unique set of standard features… including surrey canopy; cabin window enclosure, dining tables, navigation and interior lights; bilge pump; and a four-speaker single disc CD player and much more!

Highlight Colors:
Captain Navy, Pacific Blue, Persian Green, Forest Green, Burgundy & Toast. Customers have the opportunity to personalize interiors, fabrics and hull colors for a unique style.
