ORLANDO, FLA (January 20, 2012) – Today, Nautique announced its first100% electric wakeboard boat, the Super Air Nautique 230 E.

Since debuting the Ski Nautique E a year ago, Nautique has been working to develop a 100% electric wakeboard boat and today Nautique introduces to the world, the Super Air Nautique 230 E. The first viewing of the Super Air Nautique 230 E will be at the Detroit Boat Show on February 11-19, 2012 in the Silver Spray Sports Nautique dealership exhibit.
