Electric Launch on the Great Ouse
In Felix Dennis' excellent business book (title & poetry aside) he states "if it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it..it's cheaper in the long run."
So, ignoring his advice, I decided to buy a boat to use at our house by the river.....
Well OK, it's not exactly a gin palace, but it is environmentally friendly! We've got a whole 9'4" of unsinkable bathtub, and the exciting part is the high efficiency Minn Kota Maxxum electric outboard. We can now quietly enjoy the river without fumes, whilst travelling at up to twice walking pace (until the 100AH battery runs out after 2.5hrs).
P.S My seven year old son likes to take the helm. If you spot a white dinghy on the Great Ouse of uncertain heading, give it a wide berth!

I wish I could get a house like you, nearby a river, which would be environment friendly then in every evening I would just my boat and go for an adventurous journey
