Hi Eric,
Thanks for your questions. My family just bought a 20' Ranger fishing and skiing boat because my kids recently developed great interests into water skiing, which means, as usual, I have to sacrifice and sell the electric ALUMCRAFT :) You may see the picture of our new Ranger boat here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/electricboats/photos/album/1296484596/pic/2125789070/view. Nevertheless, my kids have really loved driving the electric boats at lakes and have made many others jealous. The current Parsun electric O/B is brand new, recently received as a Warranty replacement.
Battery wise, I have tried four x 12V, six x 8V, and eight x 6V deep cycle configurations. Sam's Club has both 6V and 8V deep cycle batteries at very good price. The 6V Trojan golf cart battery (like T-105) produces the best performance, but also cost almost double. In my experiences, with eight x 6V Sam's batteries, I ran about and fished all day long at Liberty without any problem. I especially enjoyed fishing at Liberty simply by driving and fast trolling on the console. For smaller water bodies, such like Triadelphia or Rocky Gorge reservoirs, I assess that the four x 12V or six x 8V configuration would be already sufficient.
Note that the current price does not include the batteries, such that the next buyer can make the best choice for himself, as there are so many configurations and manufacturers that can be considered.
Regards,
Ed.

It comes with a brand new 48V electric outboard, so that it can run at high speed at reservoirs, lakes, and rivers, where gas motors are prohibited. The boat is overall in GREAT condition, running like a charm, as can be seen in the actual pictures attached below. In more details, it is a 15¡¦ ALUMCRAFT bass tracker, which comes with the trailer, the Parsun 48V ELECTRIC OUTBOARD...
