I thought the four-blade racing prop might be a bit aggressive, the three blade gives you the "jump to lightspeed" we all know and love. Awesome project and must be a blast to drive.

Absolutely wonderful. I am very impressed with what you have achieved. The quality and workmanship is by far the best i have scene. Well done. I am a boat dealer in Australia, interestingly i specialize in RIB's, but i would love to pick your brain at some point regarding the lessons you learned to get to this point. I am Building a 22 foot long boat style skiff, this engine is exactly what Ive dreamed about powering it with. Also incorporating a full solar roof to charge and offer some shade from the Aussie heat. I was also thinking about a small honda genset, for the longer weekends away. Great job once again.

Sure, throw a couple solar panels on the bimini to re-charge. Should only take about 3 years to get enough charge to get you around the lake again. This is not a trolling motor using a couple of 20 amp hour wheelchair batts. Seriously. That motor is sucking more juice than your entire block under acceleration and fast cruise.

I did an electric outboard, but the gas powered lowered gear is very inefficient, high friction, takes a lot of energy to just spin it, which makes little difference in a wasted energy gas powered boat. A better approach is to put the motor in the water for cooling and direct drive the prop.

I think by minimising some of the weight on te boat will rocket you speed and bring down your power consumtion and lengthen you time on the water. I think there is a hell of a future for you in this industry and best of luck forward. Maybe I will come apon a product of your design that I will enjoy using.

Yes, it's roughly the same volume though the batteries will weigh more than an equal volume of fuel. I put 40,000 watt hours of battery in the same area as 21 gal of gas. Also, you can't just refill the batteries as there is no supercharging at the lake (yet) You will need to size your battery pack appropriately. Very easy if you are only looking for 5-10 mph. It gets exponentially harder the faster you go.
