Re: [Electric Boats] Re: 50 HP diesel VS electric

 

Perhaps a higher torque motor than a golf cart motor would be a good or better option.  likewise the higher voltages like 72 volt and up gives better performance with a larger boat.  mostly I use 48 v., but that is because the smaller boat hull size.  If you use the batteries as partial ballast, you can do way better with several details, than golf cart stuff.

It is a homebuilt sailboat with classic lines, 26 ft of waterline, 10ft beam, 42ft length with the bowsprite
I was thinking of a golf cart motor...?

Martin,
What is the make and model of your boat.  Is it a sailboat or powerboat?  If it is a custom share the Length Over All (LOA), Length of Waterline (LWL), Beam, and the 18000lbs displacement.  This will give us the information to recommend a propulsion system power requirement,
50hp seems like a lot of power for sailboat with a 18000lbs displacement.  Even the Westsail 32 at 19500lbs and 32ft did not have a 50hp motor in it?
