Hybrid water-sports boat!

🌊 WATERSPORTS

Launching within the next 3-weeks (designed and developed in Greenwood Lake, NY by Genesis Marine Technologies), the Genesis 24 is a hybrid wake surf boat.

This boat will feature the Trident Hybrid System with a 200kWh battery, a 23kWh onboard gasoline generator, and a 600HP/1000 lb-ft torque electric motor. It offers 50% better fuel efficiency compared to other 24’ WakeSurf boats and includes a revolutionary Launch Control system for precise power output control.

The boat has a 4,500lbs ballast system, provides up to an hour of riding in Electric Mode, and offers weekend-long adventures in Hybrid Mode. The Gen X Hull and Gen 3 Ballast System offer superior wake/surf technology and the largest wakesurf wave in its category, respectively.

We look forward to covering more details on this boat in the future.
