Ride along with our field correspondents on the X-Shore electric speedboat and learn about the first electric autonomous freighter Yara Birkeland. Byron, Jen, and Rob journey to Lake Champlain for a sea trial of the Eelex 8000 from Swedish boat builder X-Shore. Byron shares his design work on the exterior of the Yara Birkeland which replaces 40,000 diesel truck trips a year in Norway. SO COOL! Thank you for listening, we love you but like in a good friend way jeez calm down. Please connect on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube @theboatyshow, email us at
