2021 Vision Marine Technologies Quietude 156

The 2021 Quietude 156 is a 15.5-foot electric deck boat built on a composite hull, designed for quiet, shallow-water cruising. Its open layout features side-by-side seating that maximizes sightlines and social space, making it well-suited to leisurely days on ponds, lakes, and rivers. The boat is finished with a black hull and deck liner paired with grey weather-resistant upholstery and sealed waterproof electronics.

Power comes from a single 5-horsepower e-Propulsion electric motor fed by three 12-volt lithium batteries configured as a 36-volt system. This setup delivers several hours of low-wake operation per charge and supports cruising speeds around 4.3 knots. The retractable drive and shallow 8-inch draft allow access to tight waterways and the ability to beach the boat.

The deck boat features a removable surrey-style top that can be taken off for open-air cruising. Solar panels have been integrated into the boat to provide ongoing battery charging while on the water. The compact, lightweight design makes this boat practical for exploring areas where draft restrictions or low bridges would exclude traditional gasoline-powered alternatives.
