I’m in the process of building a combination hydroplane/jetski (1988 Popular Mechanics plans) which calls for a 35 hp outboard maximum. ?I have an old outboard which needs work so I thought I’d look at converting it to electric. ?Space and weight capacity are at a premium because it is a small boat. ?I’m looking at a ME1616 from Thunderstruck as the motor but have not committed to this. ?Trying to also figure the minimum battery configuration to be able to plane and run for say an hour. ?Input appreciated. ?Is this even feasible given current technology? ?Thanks.
