[Electric Boats] electric sternwheeler

 

Greetings everyone.  We're in the process of building a moderately large sternwheel pontoon houseboat here on the Chesapeake.  I would love to get some motor/controller suggestions from the group.  At the moment, we're contemplating using a winch or industrial fork lift motor a la http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSJ8LXqPp8 .  Since hull speed on this thing would only be around 5kt and planing is not an option, a great deal of power would only be wasted.  Ideas?  Suggestions?
