I received an email that the Lehr Propane Outboard is on the market and being shown at various boat shows soon.
I'm not affiliated with the company and this is not a sales pitch but they certainly piqued my interest.
I have an electric inboard in my Alberg 30 and have been on the look-out for a good solution to a dingy motor and didn't want to have a gas outboard and the related tanks etc to try and stow aboard.
I thought about an electric motor but range and weight of lifting a battery to and from the dingy discouraged me from going that route.
I have propane on board for the galley and use fairly small fiberglass propane tanks that aren't to heavy to move around, so when I heard about this outboard I must say I was surprised and interested.
They say you can screw a small portable canister into it or hook up a regular propane tank.
I don't know a thing about propane powered engines and the range, operating expense, etc that one might expect.
If anyone has experience with propane powered motors I sure would like to here your opinion on them before I decide to get one of these.
Cheers, Don
