2025 Candela C8 DC

The 2025 Candela C8 DC is a 28-foot composite runabout powered by a single Candela pod electric motor producing 67 horsepower. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 27 knots and cruises at 22 knots. The pod drive features counter-rotating propellers driven directly by a permanent magnet motor, eliminating the need for a mechanical transmission and reducing noise and maintenance requirements.

The C8 DC accommodates one cabin and is built for day cruising and recreational use. Its composite construction and electric propulsion system combine efficiency with low operational costs, making it economical to run while delivering responsive performance on the water.
