About the Brio e 17

The 2026 Princecraft Brio e 17 is a 5.4-metre aluminium pontoon designed around modest-power electric outboards. Buyers can choose a Mercury Avator 20e, Avator 35e or Torqeedo Cruise 3.0 RL. Princecraft publishes model-specific speed and endurance tables, which is more useful than a single best-case range claim: the Avator 35e reaches a listed 6.6 mph at full power, while four 2.3 kWh Avator batteries provide two hours at full power or 9 hours 12 minutes at 25 percent power. The lighter Avator 20e runs more slowly but stretches the same four-battery configuration to a listed 14 hours 12 minutes at 25 percent. The deck includes a chaise lounge, folding helm seat, storage under the lounges, three boarding gates, a stern swim platform and a standard bimini.

Best For

Relaxed family cruising on calm lakes and speed-restricted water

Performance in Context

Published speeds range from 3.6 to 6.6 mph depending on motor and throttle. Endurance figures are based on Princecraft testing or supplier algorithms and will change with wind, current, passengers, battery age and accessories.

Battery and Charging

Avator packages use two or four 48 V, 2.3 kWh lithium batteries. Princecraft lists 20 hours for two and 40 hours for four with the supplied charging arrangement; owners should ask dealers about parallel or higher-output charging options.

Availability and Pricing
