Greetings all,
I have been lurking for several weeks and have come to appreciate the expertise and enthusiasm of the list.
Today I began sanding the 1959 runabout I bought last fall and as I sanded I considered spending a couple thousand dollars to repower the thing. It came with an old 20 HP Johnson two stroke, which I really can't use in good conscience considering the 25:1 oil mixture (and really being a sailor, I can't put up with the noise). Of course electric propulsion is a consideration.
I just looked at the Torqueedo site, thinking that would be a good turnkey solution. But alas, I want more than 8-10 HP to have a fun boat. I would appreciate any recommendations for powering a 14 foot fiberglass boat with at least enough power to get her up on plane. I don't shy away from a bit of tinkering.
Thanks and Regards,
Thumper
