Wake boats have always run on gas, noise, and fumes. The Arc Sport runs on 500 horsepower of pure electric power, and it is the most advanced wake boat ever built.

Every day on the water with a traditional wake
boat comes with the same package. A gas engine that requires constant
maintenance. Fumes that follow the boat wherever it goes. A noise level that
makes conversation impossible at speed. And a wake that depends entirely on
manually managing ballast with limited precision. The sport has accepted these
realities for decades, treating them as inseparable from the experience. Arc
looked at that package and decided none of it was actually necessary.
The Arc Sport is a 23-foot all-electric wake
boat powered by a 232 kWh battery delivering 500 horsepower. The electric
drivetrain produces instant torque on demand, accelerating harder and more
responsively than any combustion engine in its class. No warm-up. No gear
changes. No delay between intention and movement. At full speed, the loudest
thing on the boat is the water. Conversation happens naturally at any speed.
The smell of fuel exhaust is gone entirely. What remains is the lake, the wake,
and the people on board.
The wake boat experience lives and dies on the
quality of the wave it produces. The Arc Sport uses intelligent ballast
software with three actuating trim tabs that adjust the wave shape in real time
based on rider preference, boat speed, and weight distribution. Fine-tuning a
perfect surf wave no longer requires manual ballast management and years of
experience reading water. The software handles it. A carbon fibre auto-retract
hardtop tower adjusts the tow point for different disciplines and closes out
the cabin when conditions change. Three integrated cameras cover the water
around the boat continuously for both safety and capturing footage of every
ride.
Docking and maneuvering a large wake boat in
tight spaces has always been one of the most stressful parts of ownership. The
Arc Sport addresses this with dual thrusters and joystick-assisted precision
control that makes low-speed maneuvering intuitive for captains of any
experience level. A modern touchscreen helm consolidates all boat systems in
one interface. Over-the-air software updates improve the boat continuously
after purchase without requiring a service appointment. Ultra-precise battery
monitoring eliminates range anxiety by giving the captain an accurate picture
of remaining power at all times.
