Vision Marine Technologies and Sterk Boats will debut their first dual application of the E-Motion 180E electric marine powertrain system at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).
The Sterk 31, launching to market as the Sterk 31e, will be revealed during the show which takes place from October 29 – November 2 2025.
This unveiling is said to mark a ‘defining milestone’ in the evolution of the E-Motion platform.
The launch builds on Vision Marine’s announcement earlier in 2025 of hull optimisation for electric propulsion, with the collaboration advancing to a consumer-ready integration.
Engineering teams
The Sterk 31 was custom adapted by engineering teams from both companies, with Vision Marine completing the outfitting with two E-Motion 180E high-voltage electric outboards, powered by a battery system totalling more than 170kWh.
“This unveiling at FLIBS represents not only a milestone for Vision Marine, but also for the entire boating industry,” said Alexandre Mongeon, co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine.
“It demonstrates the scalability and versatility of our E-Motion technology, showing its ability to power larger and more demanding classes of recreational boats.
Future integrations
“This achievement lays the groundwork for future integrations across an even wider range of powerboat platforms.”
Milan Sterk, CEO of Sterk Boats, added: “The Sterk 31 was designed from the outset as a high-performance platform, and working with Vision Marine we have proven that premium German design can be seamlessly matched with advanced high-voltage propulsion.
“This integration demonstrates how electric power can meet the expectations of demanding boaters, and we are proud to debut it at FLIBS.”
The Sterk 31e dual integration expands Vision Marine’s portfolio of 24 completed integrations of its E-Motion 180E system across multiple recreational boating platforms.
