Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27


 

Mark,
I hope I can get those good numbers in tests to come, have done pretty close with my ChrisCraft Capri 30. ?My drive prop is a 14X12 three blade that I've ducted with a Rice speed nozzle modified. ?Thrust is great and the preliminary numbers are close to yours. ? For a 12000 boat that isn't as slippery as yours its pretty good, but I'm still working on the system. ?My boat needed a total rebuild inside and out so it wasn't just a put the electrics in place. ? I've build a 5 blade 11 pitch prop from composite, I am not as concerned about push as I am about developing the best prop for regen while sailing.... ?a topic that everyone says isn't worth the effort, I disagree and will continue the project until I have things in working condition... ? as Winston Churchill once said, "don't ever, ever, give up".... ?chuckle.... ?I won't...

Hi Dave,

My boat is actually a Bruce King designed 1976 Ericson 27. And my current motoring numbers are better now that I have a larger (12x10) three blade prop; 4 knots at 20 amps.
