The Calypso 23e, powered by the Whisper XT Electric Outboard motor is going to debut at Fort Lauderdale's International Boat Show between October 30, 2008 and November 3, 2008. The Calypso 23e's Whisper XT electric outboard motor is making its debut just in time for the 2008 Fort Lauderdale boat show, which begins on Thursday, October 30. The boat is being released by EPower Marine, an independent boat dealer based in Florida in Boynton Beach. This particular boat dealer specializes specifically in electric propulsion products intended for the marine industry.

The Calypso 23e is designed to cruise at 8.5 miles per hour, and is powered by 600 lbs of military-grade Odyssey advanced AGM dry cell batteries which can be charged over the period of an evening using only a standard 115 volt outlet. For less than $2.00 worth of electricity, in other words, anyone can afford to spend a relaxing day on the water, according to the Vice President of EPower Marine, Captain Todd Sims.

The Whisper XT electronic outboard motor, which is the motor that the Calypso 23e utilizes, utilizes new electronic marine motor technology that was developed for initial use by the United States Navy. It offers a high performance commercial electric motor system that is roughly equivalent to a standard gasoline motor of 15 hp.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, celebrating its 49th year, is covering six cities and plans to feature more than $3 billion dollars worth of unique boats, super yachts, yachts, engines and electronics along with thousands of other accessories coming from major marine manufacturers and builders all over the world. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be showing at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center, the Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel and Yacht Club, the Hall of Fame Marina, the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Hotel and Marina and the Las Olas Marina.

EPower Marine intends to exhibit at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center, in 2010 which is a first floor booth. The current show price for the Calypso 23e is $39,287 which is not a bad price for a gasoline-free boating experience.

The 49th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is being presented by Ginn sur Mer and is owned and sponsored by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida and sponsored by KeyBank.
