Not yet - but my 07 Tundra has 157K on it, so in about 2 years I'm planning on at least a new Tundra Hybrid, or possibly a Tesla or Rivian Truck.
I do have good electric service and great southern exposure at the lake, so a net meter and a nice solar array are in the long term plans along with the vehicle would be ideal.
Picked up a 21’ AR190
And let me tell you, she is a turtle at 6500 feet above sea level, 14mph max speed with 7 passengers and a cooler.
Brought it back home to a local lake and hit 37mph with the same load.

Seems a little slow. My old 2 stroke SeaDoo would easily do that. I know some say power doesn’t matter. I don’t agree; IMO if buying new always go with the most power offered. Pretty boat though!!

I've been all in on electric now for 5 years - solar panels, cars, even bikes. There ultimately will be an electric boat. There is one Canadian company already doing an electric jetski named the Orca (and it kind of looks like a killer whale). One reason I got the AR195 was that my Tesla has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The Cybertruck is next and will have a towing capacity of 15,000 pounds. It'll haul any boat that I would want to put on a fresh water lake.
I originally ordered the sx195 and it still has not come in. I swapped my deposit to the ar195 that came in and already had the 10 hour service done. It is taking forever for those for some reason.
