[Electric Boats] Hi there

 

Hi!
My name is Suwan Pitaksintorn, a new member of the group.
I work for National Park of Thailand.
I come up with the idea for ecofriendly boat. Yes, electric boat for some marine NP.
I have been planed to build a solar boat to show visitor that we can enjoy and work in NP without using gas and spill out more pollution.
Now, my team setting up the boat plan like this
We going to build a 12x4 fiberglass catamaran solar boat for 17 passengers (dayly use). There are two motors (3000-5000w each) for safty reason and power. The motors drive the propeller through a long shaft (as longtail boat, commonly use in Thailand). We plan to sail from Bangkok to the most south of Thailand for 700 km distance (with 4 passengers). The boat will then operate in Tarutao NP for multipurpose use but maintly to show the ecofriendly boat.
However, I still looking for every knowlege, experiences and comments from anyone to make the best of it, particularly the motors, gear reduction and propeller's size.
I will explore the site but if you have any comment or recommendations, please tell me.

Suwan
