I have been looking at the AC-13 or AC-15 AC Motors they are large enough to use on my 36' steel hull, But I have not found much info that I could understand as to compair them to DC motors other than the few DC drives that are in the higher hp range and then the cost gets to extreme. www.thunderstruck-ev.com carries the set as well as
www.currentevtech.com These look like a nice package and the price dosent seam to bad.
Anyone familer with these? Arby talked about AC awhile back.
