What a buyer should know
Understand which configuration this is
On VTS Boats' Flying Shark 5.7 Bowrider, the 6 kW motor and 8 kWh battery are the entry package, and they define what this particular boat does: a light, quiet, low-speed sports hull for lake and river use. VTS markets the same 5.7 platform with substantially larger electric drives capable of getting it onto the plane, so if the "sports boat" label is what drew you in, this is not the version that delivers it. Ask the yard for the price and specification of the higher-output package before deciding.
The numbers in practice
Eight kilowatt-hours against a 6 kW motor gives roughly eighty minutes at continuous full output, and rather more at a relaxed cruise — a short afternoon rather than a day out. The six-hour charge time points at an ordinary single-phase supply, which is convenient at a lakeside house and less convenient if you want two outings in a day. VTS publishes speed in kilometres per hour and endurance in hours only, so this listing carries no knots or nautical miles figure; that is the builder's choice, not missing data on our part.
Value and the Bowrider question
Forty-one thousand seven hundred and fifty euros is a lot for 6 kW, and the price is likely quoted net — confirm the VAT position. Against the 5.7 Classic, the Bowrider costs €600 more for bow seating, which is worth having if you carry passengers and worth skipping if you want dry stowage and a clean foredeck.
