10 m Greenline NEO is a new Greenline concept in two aspects : she is outboard-powered and fully electric or optionally propulsed by 4-stroke outboards. Combining fine waterlines and low planing speed drag (for full electric version) with seaworthy high speed capacity for high-power petrol outboards was a new area of naval architecture for J&J.

According to several very positive tests and reports in many countries the mission is accomplished – with similarity to the Greenline 33 project which combined super-low drag hull with semi-planing capacity , 10 years earlier. NEO was also the first production boat with the S.A.F.E. platform – a major innovation improving the safety and convenience in outboard-powered boats.
Extensive research efforts were made in the office to understand the conceptual rules for creating a fully-electric or fast hybrid boat. These were based on 10-year experience with hundreds of such boats in the field, and on new technologies making environmentally friendly boating possible.
