An electric bowrider dedicated to wakeboarding
Arc Boats is an American company founded in 2021, based in Los Angeles, USA. Following the launch of the Arc One, a small 7.3 m-long electric speedboat capable of reaching 40 knots, the manufacturer is now launching the Arc Sport. This time, it's a bowrider model designed for wakeboarding, 7 m long and still equipped with electric propulsion. The Arc Sport combines aerospace engineering, EV technology and dedicated software created in-house to offer a new experience in board sports.
More torque than high-end wake boats

The touch screen allows riders to customize their screen with several application configurations. Cameras, tower and ballast control, and navigation charts are all easily accessible.
