From the Manufactures Website:

The 15’ Lightning Bug has been considered the jewel of electric boats ever since we started making them in 1987. Elegance is reflected not only in the lines of the boat, but also in its simplicity and practicality. Its unique cockpit, which comfortably seats four adults, is designed for conversation. A single lever controls the speed and the direction of the boat, making operation extremely easy. Unplug the onboard charger, turn the key and you are ready to go. Full running lights make evening and night operation pleasurable.

The Lightning Bug offers a unique perspective to power boating. Enjoy a tranquil cruise in the still morning waters, fish your favorite hole, or noiselessly bird watch. Take in a colorful sunset or visit friends across the water, in style. Whatever you do, as soon as you leave the dock in a Lightning Bug, you will immediately be aware of the nature around you and the company with you.
