Indmar Unveils All-New Hybrid Electric Powertrain and World's First Hybrid Wakesurf Boat

Watch the unveiling at the Miami Boat Show where Indmar Marine Engines introduced a new era in marine propulsion unveiling a hybrid electric powertrain developed in partnership with Genesis Marine Technologies and debuted the world’s first hybrid wakesurf boat, the Genesis 24. Built on a Proven Foundation At the core of the hybrid architecture is the 2.3L EcoBoost, one of the most versatile platforms in Indmar’s portfolio. Known for its compact footprint, lightweight design, strong low-end torque and fuel efficiency, the engine serves as the internal combustion foundation of the Trident Hybrid system. “At Indmar, innovation starts with selecting the right foundation for the rugged demands of marine use and redefining its capabilities for applications no one thought possible,” said Tim Maher, president of Indmar Marine Engines. “The 2.3L EcoBoost is that approach in action.” In its hybrid configuration, the engine functions as an auxiliary power unit supporting an integrated electric propulsion system. The Trident Hybrid powertrain is engineered to deliver up to 1,420 pound-feet of torque at the propeller and 530 Horsepower while delivering significant fuel efficiency gains compared with traditional wakesurf propulsion systems. Genesis officials said the system can deliver up to 70% to 80% fuel efficiency improvements and as much as four times the operational range using the same size fuel tank, depending on duty cycle and application. The result is a propulsion platform that combines quiet operation, extended time on the water and seamless transitions between gas and electric power. Designed as an Integrated Platform The Trident Hybrid powertrain made its public debut inside the Genesis 24, a 24-foot hybrid wakesurf boat developed by Genesis Marine Technologies. “The technology platform is the company. The boats are the application,” Ahmad said. “We engineered the Trident Hybrid system as one fully integrated propulsion, controls and software platform from the start — not as an adaptation of existing systems.” The fully integrated software architecture enables system health monitoring, predictive maintenance and over-the-air diagnostics. Officials said the system was engineered for real-world, on-water validation in demanding environments, including extended duty cycles and sustained torque loads typical of wakesurf applications. The hybrid platform will be available to additional boat builders seeking advanced propulsion solutions. The system supports multi-motor configurations capable of delivering more than 5,000 horsepower and more than 10,000 newton meters of torque directly to propeller shafts, enabling integration across larger recreational vessels and commercial marine applications. Ahmad explained further, It’s only disruptive if it can be built reliably, repeatedly and at scale. With a newly established manufacturing facility in Southwest Florida and Indmar’s legacy of marine production expertise, the partnership enables hybrid powertrain integration across multiple vessel categories. Expanding the Indmar Portfolio With the successful unveiling of its hybrid architecture, Indmar signals continued investment in next-generation propulsion technologies while reinforcing its leadership position in the inboard marine segment. Indmar officials said hybrid propulsion is a natural extension of the company’s commitment to delivering competitive advantages for boat builders and more time on the water for boaters.
