Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Repower Cruiser with Hybrid drive system

 

Arby,


You may be referring to www.Stright-Mackay.com in Nova Scotia. Good folks to deal with.

Hi Steve,
Two Prius drive systems out of a pair of rolled part's cars would be a keen choice. 
Keel cooler parts can be found from a Canadian fishing boat supplier, of which the name is long forgotten. Look for trawler suppliers, lobster boat parts...on the Internet. Stout brass through hulls with an integral 90, you choose the length and diameter to match your heat rejection needs.

The original V8's were almost 220 HP each,
Each Hybrid engine includes about 69 HP Electric and about 40 gas, for a total of almost half the original or 109 hp each

I dont expect to be able to get on plane. Although because the outdrive is behind the hybrid drive transmission,  I really cannot calculate or predict results until later this month when we float test the boat.  I hope to have some advantage with the electric motor  instant torque.

I will judge success, instead by ease of operation and if the boat provides a comfortable experience. I predict gallons of gas per day instead of gallons per hour.

anybody have advice on keel coolers for Air Conditioning? what about regular Keel coolers for generators? ( I say generator because when I talk to parts suppliers and use the word HYBRID, I get no help whatsoever)
