[Electric Boats] Re: electric prop and re-charging

 

I find it kind of interesting that the Ray Electric Outboards web site lists the exact same performance for each of their boats with a performance chart. The 26' pontoon boat and the 23' cruise and bay models will each run for 8 hours at 5.8 mph with identical battery packs. Who would have guessed that?

Fair winds,
