Gore's new boat called 'Prius of boats'

Al Gore has a new boat and even it is green.

The boat is docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about 70 miles east of Nashville.

While it doesn't have solar panels yet, a spokesperson at Gore's office told News 2 they are scheduled to be installed Wednesday.

The boat is named Bio-Solar One and has been called the "Toyota Prius of boats", reportedly so efficient it only needs to be filled up with fuel once a year.
