Reports on the wake platform describe multiple ballast tanks that can be filled quickly and asymmetrically, shifting the boat\u2019s center of gravity to shape the lip, length, and face of the wake for different riders and sports. Water ballast is ideal because it can be dumped for trailering and ramp work, while the dense battery mass stays low and permanent, improving stability and ride comfort in chop. Together, battery weight and water ballast give the Arc Sport enough displacement and control authority to produce a sizable, surfable wave comparable to premium gas wake boats.[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UXYPUwSt35I\">youtube<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25279\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9771-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1770460246&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9771.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9771-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end font-sans visRefresh2026AnswerSerif:font-editorial font-semimedium visRefresh2026Fonts:font-bold text-base visRefresh2026Fonts:text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"why-the-prop-is-so-large\">Why the prop is so large<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Electric drive favors a larger\u2011diameter, relatively lower\u2011rpm propeller: the motor can deliver high torque at low shaft speed, so the prop can be sized for thrust and efficiency instead of needing to spin at automotive\u2011like rpm. For a wakesport hull that runs in the 10\u201325 mph band most of the day, a big prop disc area gives more \u201cgrip\u201d on the water, which helps with hole\u2011shot, fine speed control, and the ability to hold a loaded wake speed without hunting.

For wakeboarding and wakesurfing, the rider spends long periods directly behind the boat at low speed, face close to the water and wake; with a gas inboard, this exposes them to exhaust fumes and CO that can collect in the wake trough, which is unpleasant and, in extreme cases, dangerous. Removing exhaust makes the experience quieter, cleaner\u2011smelling, and reduces CO risk for people sitting in the cockpit and for riders surfing right behind the platform.[<a href=\"https:\/\/arcboats.com\/\">arcboats<\/a>]\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25281\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9893-jpg-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1770485884&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9893.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img_9893-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end font-sans visRefresh2026AnswerSerif:font-editorial font-semimedium visRefresh2026Fonts:font-bold text-base visRefresh2026Fonts:text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"maintenance-and-sales-status\">Maintenance and sales status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Arc markets the Sport as requiring \u201cminimal maintenance,\u201d emphasizing that the electric motor and drivetrain have far fewer moving parts than a gasoline inboard and that winterization is much simpler.

That implies a focus on shore\u2011power AC or dedicated marine DC chargers rather than portable generators, which typically cannot deliver high continuous power without being noisy, smelly, and slow relative to the boat\u2019s large battery size. In principle, a suitably rated portable gasoline generator could be connected through an appropriate charger to add range, but Arc does not promote or package this as a standard solution; instead, they position the Sport as an all\u2011day boat on a single charge, to be recharged at the dock rather than \u201crefueled\u201d from a small portable genset.[<a
