Why would 500HP only make 40 MPH in 24’ boat?

what I would also assume is the hull is design as well. Look where the boat is cutting through the water on plane. 3/4 of the hull is in the water. That is an ugly boat though, imho.
 
EV batteries typically are around 10 pounds per kWh so around 2,200 pounds of batteries.

I agree. They need to change the name to the UAF...
 
Hull design and weight are surely factors as previously mentioned, but I'd bet drive ratio is a big factor. There are high HP wake boats that will do the same top speed at sea level and high elevation for the same reason.
 
There’s something about all that electrical current, at or below the waterline, an aluminum hull, and me running around soaking wet, and barefooted……I’m sure somehow it might be safe, but it doesn’t sound like a great idea. It’s the electricity, water, and metal thing.

Exactly, they can't even master EV cars. Fuck an EV boat 100%
 
and its only $300,000. I'll take 2!
