About the 182TR

The ElectraCraft 182TR is an 18-foot social electric cruiser built on a one-piece trimaran-shaped hull. The layout seats twelve adults around an oversized dining table and long countertop, with storage drawers, an ice chest, refrigerator and Bluetooth audio supporting day-long entertaining. Forward and aft convertible canopies are standard, while a full fiberglass hardtop with recessed lighting and a window enclosure is optional. Propulsion uses a variable-speed 48 V DC motor, eight 6 V traction batteries and a V-drive to a four-blade propeller. ElectraCraft publishes four mph cruising speed, six mph maximum, nine hours of runtime at cruise and 3.5 hours at full speed. At 3,250 lb with an 8-foot-6-inch beam, the 182TR is intended for stable, quiet lake and harbour use rather than trailering to high-speed or exposed-water routes.

Best For

Entertaining groups on lakes, canals and protected bays
Owners wanting a stable open social layout with galley amenities

Performance in Context

Official figures are nine hours at four mph and 3.5 hours at six mph. Actual runtime changes with passenger load, wind, battery age and accessory use. Prospective owners should confirm the test assumptions and preserve a reserve, especially when refrigeration and audio operate throughout the trip.

Battery and Charging

ElectraCraft lists a seven-hour charge time, a 48 V automatic charger and eight heavy-duty 6 V propulsion batteries, plus separate 12 V accessory batteries. Confirm shore voltage, charger amperage, battery chemistry and replacement cost; a brochure price alone does not indicate battery age or warranty.
