740 Mirage (Electric)

Built for the market it comes from

Frauscher is an Austrian yard on a lake, and the 740 Mirage makes most sense on one. The Alpine lakes — Austrian, Swiss, Bavarian — restrict or ban combustion in places, and a 7.47 m electric Frauscher with the yard's styling and finish is close to the default answer there. Twenty-six knots and a 60 nm range make it more versatile than the slow inland electrics, and it will suit a sheltered-water owner who wants performance available without needing it constantly.

Understanding the 60 nm

That range is a cruise figure. An 80 kWh pack against the 110 kW Torqeedo motor would be exhausted in well under an hour at full output, so the useful reading is that you have a day of relaxed running with reserves for short bursts. For pure lake use the 60 kW option is likely the more rational buy, and worth pricing.

€216,616 for 7.47 m is a lot, and the petrol version of the same hull costs meaningfully less — though Frauscher residuals in this market are among the strongest in the segment. Note that this is an electric option on a combustion range, not a ground-up electric design; expect range to fall away with speed faster than on a purpose-built hull such as the Candela C-8. Marian and Boesch are the direct alternatives.
