Owners keep getting asked if it’s electric
Honestly, the EP-20 motor is phenomenal. People stop me to ask me if it’s a gas motor because it goes so fast!
I have now owned my Elco for one full season and it operated flawlessly… I’m the fastest boat on my lake.
I have to say that this motor is a workhorse… I just drop the motor in the water, turn the key and go.
The Elco motor is powerful with quiet operation, and the quality of the product has surpassed my expectations.
