[Electric Boats] Electric Launch with LiFePo4 batteries

 

I was just at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival and saw this boat. The workmanship on it was amazing!

There's a link to a performance chart on the page that shows how that last knot can be really expensive.

As a side note, my T-120's in my EV would last 2 years, cycled every day to mostly a 60% discharge, and sometimes cycled twice a day. I went through 3 sets of batteries in the 6 years I drove it.
