Re: [Electric Boats] Re: New project

 

Based on my experience with my Cape Dory Typhoon and a Torqeedo 801L, for your boat, I would look at a 401L (12v) and a Enginer Lithium battery, 40AH for $260, http://www.enginer.us . It is much cheaper than the Torqeedo batteries and much lighter than lead-acid. I have not used these batteries but they sure look good on paper. There is a new Base 401L on ebay for $700. 

Good luck,
Ned

What is your budget? Mine was such that it included buying a Torqeedo with extra battery pack.
