Sterk Yachts will integrate and test Vision Marine’s E-Motion 180E electric propulsion system aboard the Sterk 26E in Europe during…
A completely new design from Fletcher, the F23 will initially launch as a petrol outboard before the brand introduces a fully electric version in autumn 2024. It features a frameless tinted wrap-around windshield with a hinged centre section, which swings open to provide walk-through access to the bow lounge with sunken seating. At the stern, a full-width integrated bathing platform offers a relaxing space, extends the waterline and can act as a platform for waterskis and wakeboards. The F23 is set to reach speeds of 50mph thanks to its 300hp outboard and fibreglass and carbon-fibre sandwich construction.

Ed Ahmed, Chief Product Architect at Fletcher, commented: ‘The F23 not only marks our first new model in 20 years but also highlights a major step in our new direction towards a fully electric offering in 2024.’
