The 3.36m (11ft) RIB has a sturdy aluminium hull, a 1.82m (6ft) beam, and a capacity for up to five passengers. The tender weighs just 320kg including battery, FCT console wheel steering and system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0712boa1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0712boa1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0712boa1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Highfield EJET330 can reach speeds of up to 20kt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With no heavy outboard motor to worry about, the EJET330 features a 10.8kWh battery and 20kW of power, equivalent to 25hp. The boat will plane at 11kt upwards and scoot along at an impressive 20kt maximum. The super-safe Lithium Iron Phosphate 48V-10A low voltage battery will run for up to seven hours. Charging can take as little as 2.5 hours depending on charger output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cZeroJet uses the safest Lithium chemistry, Lithium Iron Phosphate, and a DNV-certified Dutch battery from Super B,\u201d ZeroJet co-founder Neil Mans explains. \u201cSpecialising in building their own electric motors and jet pumps from the ground up, with no gearboxes and a clever closed-loop cooling system, so no saltwater passes through components. All this adds up to make ZeroJet\u2019s tech the highest performing 48V system in the market, producing 20kW continuous output, equivalent to 25hp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available in four colour options the Highfield EJET330 is designed to look good too. The robust Highfield alloy hull, which will carry up to five passengers, features Hypalon tubes, upholstery and deck tread. There\u2019s lots of internal storage including a bow locker while the deceptively efficient deck space belies its compact size, thanks in part to the integrated under-deck battery design and compact jet unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">source:ibi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 3.4m (11ft) RIB is powered by an electric jet propulsion system from ZeroJet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":9330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9329"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9332,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9329\/revisions\/9332"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
