Hi Craig
I designed and built a cog belt drive to take power from my 47hp Cummins diesel down to my prop shaft
It has been very successful and Im really happy with it
Gates has a program called DFpro that allows you to input your data will give you exact belt size , pulley size for your HP
electric motors are most suitable
I would not hesitate to use this as a drive method

Timing belt might work well.
On the subject a Wikipedia article says _flat_ belt drives of 'modern
materials' can handle up to 100 HP and are about 99% efficient.
I wonder how wide they should be, and I keep looking for some sort of
belts that might work, but I've never found a source. The slightly
domed pulleys (with or without sides) could be made on a lathe (even
a wood lathe).
