RE: [Electric Boats] Torqeedo is great!

 

Do you have info to share on the speed and range that you get?

>>Mid-summer I got a good purchase of a Torqeedo Travel 801L on eBay with a spare battery pack. Right now I'm using it on a 12' john boat I had. Lots of fun with the grandkids motoring up and down the Wabash River north of West Lafayette, Indiana.

>>My only compliant is that the prop extends below the skeg, so once in a while I get into some sand and gravel. I'll have to rig some sort of extension next year.

>>I'm thinking about adding a hull extension on the transom to convert the 12' planing hull to a 14' displacement hull. Top speed might not change, but range should improve a little.
