After the evaluation period, Vision Marine and Freedom Boat Club South Florida will explore expanding the electric footprint across all ten of its FBC location properties.

"Our partnership with Alex Mongeon and his Vision Marine team allows our members to experience, firsthand, the next wave of innovation in marine propulsion."
