The 2022 Duffy Back Bay 16 is a compact electric bay boat built on a composite hull, designed for lakes, inland waterways, and protected bays. Powered by a single Advanced Motors & Drives 5 hp electric motor fed by eight 6V lead acid batteries in a 48V configuration, the boat reaches a top speed of 5.2 knots and cruises at 3.5 knots. The battery system supports a full day of operation on the water. Charging flexibility is built in through a 120V system compatible with standard household (20A), dock (30A), and commercial marina (50A) power sources.
At 16 feet 5 inches long and 7 feet 4 inches wide, the Back Bay 16 fits size-restricted waters while offering surprising interior volume. The boat accommodates multiple passengers comfortably for casual cruising. An integrated power rudder drive system simplifies low-speed maneuvering in confined spaces.
The boat has been privately owned and maintained on a freshwater lake.
