Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Prius Motor

 

Nicholas,

Check out the following site. A guy used a Prius battery in the Wye Island electric boat marathon. http://www.popularmechanics.com/outdoors/boating/4333018.html?page=3

Hello All
Has anybody tried using a Prius motor and inverter to drive a boat?
Prius inverters are available on Ebay  U.S. for about $650 and they handle a lot of power
I have not seen M1 and M2 (the electric motors from a prius) being sold separately
But there is a complete power train on Ebay at the moment for $2k and this would contain M1 and M2
and comes with the invertor
Looking at photo's of the inverter and motors on various sites , they sure are built to last!
