I think youve got things very well scoped out. The 7 batteries (6@6V and a house battery @ 12V) sound right although I would expect them to be a bit closer to 400lb than 500lb. Not much difference

I forgot to introduce myself yesterday. My name is Wilfred Wright, I answer to Wilfred, Willie and some other terms that I will not disclose on a public forum. I am 55, married for 35 years, my

I guess that my thinking on that was headed towards offsetting the weight of the batteries. If using a 36 volt golfcart motor and 6 volt batteries, I would need at least seven batteries (motor

I finally had a chance to give the home made outboard a short test,considering the small motor it works well it pushes my 32 footer at about 2 knots.running on 12 volts and > 60 amps(meter pegs at 60

Hi Mr.Lurker and all,<br>Sailboat "hulls" make good a choise for conversion to electric power. (clean, low drag, low power hulls). One thought though, don't sell off all the ballast yet. If your

I have been a member of this group for about two months. All groups seem to have two or three sub-groups. It is very interesting to see the interactions here. Amazing camraderie, good advice all

I just found an error in my propeller calculator spread sheet. In my calculations of amps used for a given speed I failed to factor in the motor effiency. I discovered it when I was trying to see why

Thanks Chris, Its interesting that both you and Larry were able to do the systems for under $3000 and it's also interesting that your both using 36 Volt systems. You didn't mention your pulley ratio

Larry and Don -<br><br>My parts list and prices for the launch we're building are virtually same as LArry's. Didn't purchase E-meter, 'cuz the high school kids using the boat will never figure out the

This is exactly the kind of information that we need to share. I agree with Larry about there being 2 groups of people out here the ones who arn't technical and the ones who are. Unfortunatly for me I

Pauls message is important. There are two very distinct groups of people involved in this club: 1) the technical people, who are interested in advancing the capacities of electric boating and

The following was e-mailed to me. I checked out the site and thought it would be of interest to club members. I have also added it to our list of links. Paul<br><br><a

Don - it seems that much of what I am looking for is contained in your posting. So we are looking at 3, 5, and 8 HP motors for most anything below 30 foot. That is a start. Perhaps we need to clarify

Paul: I'm with you! It's confusing enough as it is! As I might have mentioned (or some of you might have realized!) I consider myself "technically impaired"! Doesn't mean that I'm stupid, but just

Pual,<br> You are correct it would be possible for someone to develop a "Kit" for converting to electric drive. This type of a thing does exist for autombile conversion. I think the problem is in

My interest in an electric drive train is based more on a clean / trouble free system...however the reason I mentioned the outboard alternative is one does have to weigh the economic reality and the
