I am restoring a 1955 Penn Yan Swift and am looking into powering it with a 1962 12 hp outboard converted to electric. It is a 12 ft race boat that weighs around 600 lbs and was designed to be powered with a 25 hp outboard. I have been talking to the guys over at Thunderstruck motors about the Motenergy ME 1302 as the powerplant with a Sevcon controller. For the batter pack I'm considering the Leaf batteries from the guys over at the Hybrid Battery Center configured into a 12 Kwh package running at 96 volts. Gear ratio for the old outboard motor is 13:21 with the gas motor range of 4400-5200 rpm.
Any thoughts the group has on the project would be greatly appreciated. This is my first EV project and engineering school was a long time ago. :)
