Yesturday I tested for the first time a marriage of a Toq. prop to a MG hub.  It was quite windy so I couldn't do any precise testing but it was definately more effecient than either a Kip. or the standard MG prop. Hull speed at lower throttle.   A couple of photo attached.

Before finding this site,  I did purchase a Kipawa prop but since it is still winter here haven't tried it yet. I was also thinking of making a fairing for the shaft as well.


After doing some research here, I was also thinking of trying the Torqeedo prop on the trolling motor.


Most of the nearby lakes around me are electric only state parks and, from what I have witnessed, have not been exposed to a real electric powered boat of any significance to test the 'electric only' rule.  My goal with this setup is just a nice no-wake cruising speed with some reserve power if needed.  With two small children getting used to boating, this is about my limit at the time.
