RE: [Electric Boats] Electric set-up for cruiser

 

Another question for Denny: Where can I get one of those 6-blade props that you use on your outdrive?

Denny:

 

Looking at your website,(I love to watch your harmony 25 speeding through the water on the video, by the way) I noticed that you have switched to a 72 volt Whisper Xt outboard motor instead of the inboard motor as shown in your WB magazine article. 

 

I must say it looks to be a neat installation and quite flexible in terms of powering a boat in that you can use anything from 24 to 72 volts.

 

If you don't mind, may I "pick" your brain with some questions?  I'll assume you are saying yes (hopefully).

 

1.  Why switch to this propulsion system?  Cost? Ease of installation?  Performance?  Powering Flexibility?

 

2.  Is the Kort nozzle on this outboard efficient enough to propel a larger vessel?  Like the one I have emailed about earlier?
