Electric outboard motors and battery systems developer Flux Marine named Highfield Boats its inaugural rigging partner. Highfield Boats has been a hull partner of Flux Marine since 2022, and the brands have collaborated to launch the Highfield Sport 660 Electric.
“This is an exciting milestone for Flux Marine as we expand access to more markets and dealers,” says Ben Sorkin, CEO of Flux Marine. “It shows how leading brands like Highfield are not only embracing but accelerating the shift to marine electrification. Together with our hull partners, we’re raising the bar for marine propulsion with performance-driven technology that delivers the true thrill of electric boating.”
The partnership will help advance the integration of electric propulsion into boat building, highlighting how Flux Marine technology can seamlessly integrate with established rigging operations. It will also enable Highfield to accelerate North American delivery timelines by installing and rigging the 115hp Flux Marine outboard at its facility in Cadillac, Michigan.
Flux Marine designs its systems for optimal boating performance, delivering unmatched acceleration, optimal range and minimal maintenance, and its flagship 115HP outboard delivers continuous power output as an equivalent gas-powered motor but with faster acceleration and no noise, ensuring reliable power for a full day on the water.
“It was an amazing journey from the very first meeting with Flux Marine to today when we are in production with a really good product,” adds Christophe Lavigne, president of Highfield Boats USA. “As two companies that were willing to work together to integrate a new kind of technology, we are excited to be able to accelerate delivery timelines for our customers by rigging the electric outboards on our Highfield Sport 660 Electric right here in Michigan.”
