Description
Brand new 2007 LEAR 204 electric propelled boat from authorized dealer with full warranty
and Retractable Hardtop with Remote!!
PLEASE NOTE: The boat in this auction has an ALL WHITE hull w/Black LEAR 204 vinyl graphic, many of the pictures displayed in this ad are of different boats with other color combinations.
While most of us love to go fast in our boats, many have never experienced the unique pleasure of cruising slowly and silently in an electric boat. Waterways that we thought we knew come alive in a new ways, and without the environmental impact of sooty exhaust, irritating noise, or large wakes to spoil the moment. There is now a high-end choice for the discerning boater interested in the advantages of electric propulsion - the Lear 204.
Born from the same heritage as the famous LEARJET and entirely handmade in America, the 204 represents a revolution in marine design! Safe, stable, and simple to operate, with almost no maintenance and operational costs of a dollar a day, the LEAR 204 is the perfect choice for South Florida, and EPower Marine can show you the way.
Technical Details
Speed and Range:
Since the Lear 204 is a "displacement hull", it is designed to be operated within a pre-determined range of speed – up to about 5.7 MPH. This top speed is limited not only by the hull shape but by the motor controller. Anywhere within this range, all of the components will work together in the most efficient manner possible. You can motor for 10 hours at 90% throttle (5mph), yielding a maximum distance of approximately 50 miles. The slower you go, the longer the batteries will last, and the more miles you can cover. Most people are very surprised just how ‘fast’ 5.7 MPH really is! Considering that this boat is designed for inland cruising, like the Intracoastal Waterway and residential canals, this is a perfect speed for the intended usage. Plus, you never have to worry about a ‘no-wake zone’, because there is never a wake!
Size and weight:
The Lear 204 is a purpose built electric boat, not an adaptation of existing designs. Every component is chosen for its contribution to the overall design goals. She is 20 feet 4 inches long, with a beam of 8 feet 5 inches, draws 22" of water, and with the top up is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs approximately 2800 pounds.
The Lectra-Lift Top
This is a patented movable hard top. It raises and lowers when you activate this control from either the helm console or the key fob. This electric roof relies on a separate control system - completely isolated from the boat’s propulsion motor. We have extensively tested this system, opening and closing the roof every five minutes for 3 months in our testing facilities! It works great, lasts long, and goes up or down in 45 seconds. Run it with the top down as a three-seat sport cruiser, or with the top up as an elegant party boat for up to 11 people. With the top down it is secure, weather tight, and trailer-friendly.
Patented Hull Design
Regardless of the roof option you select, all of the Lear 204 electric boats are built on our revolutionary hull design. The Lear 204 has no bow wave at all and produces very little wake. Much research and many reports from the last five years have recognized how damaging bow wave and wake are to our nation’s shorelines and estuaries.
Like many racing sailboats, this hull has a fine entry to offer the least resistance. The widest part of the 204’s hull (the center of buoyancy) is 66% aft of the entry along the length of the waterline. This means that when the hull is pushed through the water, there are no abrupt changes in water flow to slow it down.
The increased beam (width) and decreased depth (draft) of this hull provide the stability and space that make it so comfortable. Adding a long low-resistance keel allow this deign to track with no noticeable leeway (side slip).
Electric Motor
The Lear Baylor 204 electric boat uses an American-made 36 volt DC industrial motor. The motor is enhanced with an aluminum casting that has cooling fins facing outward. This is mounted over the motor and acts as a passive heat sink to draw heat away from the motor, rather than using powered cooling fans which draw moist air into the motor and causes corrosion, and use battery power.
The motor is rated at 5 HP continuous, but please don’t confuse ‘electric motor horsepower’ with ‘internal combustion engine horsepower’. Because of the different characteristics of electric motors, they cannot be compared directly with other motors. A good rule of thumb is 1 electric horsepower is equal to 3 internal combustion engine horsepower. 100% of an electric motor’s torque is available at 1 RPM, which makes it a great choice for a displacement boat.
Batteries
The Lear 204 uses six 8D AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries made by Concord (the company which makes the batteries for the LEARJET). A very fine boron-silicate glass mat is used between the plates to absorb the electrolyte. These batteries have all of the advantages of "gelled" but can tolerate much more abuse. Since the electrolyte (acid) is contained in the glass mats, they cannot spill, even if broken. They are certified as "non-hazardous", meaning there are no fumes, as with flooded or vented batteries, and there is no need to "top off" these batteries with water. They are designed for multiple discharges, and they have an easy-to-read indicator that shows the current percentage of charge.
"8D" is a standard designation of battery size, and these are very large (and heavy) ones. Think of your car battery x3 and that is about the size of one 8D. The large thermal mass of these batteries means the internal temperature will change much more slowly than the surrounding air temperature. Since the liquid is dispersed within the glass mat, the mat absorbs any expansion from freezing. This makes them practically immune to damage from freezing temperatures. The oxygen and hydrogen recombine inside the battery, and the oxygen transfers back to the negative plates while charging. The oxygen then recombines with the hydrogen, to prevent water loss through electrolysis. This recombination is 99% efficient, so almost no water is lost.
While the cost of AGM batteries is higher than flooded batteries, they are safer, won’t freeze, and require no maintenance. If properly charged, they should last seven years.
E-Prop®
The 204 uses a patented five-blade propeller with plates on the blade tips. Designed for low RPM electric propulsion, and specially engineered to "grab more water" the E-Prop allows the Lear 204 to accelerate quickly. The more blades a prop has, the easier it is to stay balanced. The E-Prop® also diminishes "prop-walk" thereby giving the boat excellent reverse maneuverability and a care-free docking experience.
Helm Console
The helm of the 204 is beautifully appointed with a teak steering wheel that is specially designed by Lear Baylor, and custom built. While seated at the ergonomically advanced console, surrounded by drink holders and a convenient food tray, you’ll enjoy the smooth hydraulic steering and stable operation.
Power Controller
The controller handles the heavy amp loads necessary to power the motor. It takes its commands from the throttle, which allows the operator to specify: fast, slow, forward and reverse. The interface for this controller is proprietary. It is solid state with the forward and reverse functions completely integrated.
Charger
The Charger is built in to the boat and permanently connected to the battery bank. One only has to plug in to a regular 120 volt outlet at the dock to initiate the automatic charging process; there is nothing more to it. The time to attain full charge will depend on how depleted the batteries are, but will usually be between 5 to 8 hours.
The cost of a full charge is less than $1 in electricity. So using your boat one day per week results in operating costs of less than $50 for an entire year! Compare that to $50 to $100 in fuel per outing on a similarly-sized gas powered boat.
Wiring
Our wiring harness is produced similar to wiring harnesses made for the aerospace industry. All wiring is marine-grade tinned copper with 105 degrees centigrade insulation. Our connectors are watertight and made of tinned silicone bronze. All connections are coded with their name and number for easy recognition. The wiring harness is produced in-house on a large flat surface with diagrams, pictures and examples of connectors to be used. It is thoroughly tested before installation into any of our boats. It is wired for every feature currently available, meaning that if you wanted to add an option later, the wiring is ready.
High Lift Rudder
Like everything else on the Lear 204, the rudder is designed to match the exact performance parameters of the boat. A thick, high lift rudder only adds drag and cavitation to a high speed boat, but is perfect for the 204. Its shape is a natural continuation of the contour of our keel. It is a thick high lift type that only requires a 15% angle to turn the boat in its own length. Our patented propeller and this rudder design make the 204 very responsive, easy to handle and more maneuverable than competitive offerings.
Windows
The waterproof EZ2CY® window system is the best in the world. The "clearer than glass" panels are made with semi-hard Acrylite and Stamoid. They are hung from a dual track, and these panels can be raised up to the roof-liner and fastened with ball cords into special slots in the roof so that the top can be lowered, or for "top up" cruising without windows.
Refrigerator/Freezer
Cold air is heavy and "spills out" of a refrigerator with a vertical door. The Lear 204 uses a top-loading refrigerator/freezer that doesn’t waste cold air every time it is opened. Therefore, it uses less battery power to operate and conserves more battery power for propulsion.
Cleats
Fabricated of high-strength powder-coated aluminum, Lear Baylor provides the Double-Duck® cleats on the Lear 204. Easy to use and mounted with back-up plates for exceptional strength, you wonder while all cleats aren’t designed like this!
