[Electric Boats] Re: Another new guy

 

Lets see if this works so I can reply to all.

First thanks for the welcome and comments.

Regarding the Loon, they seem to nice boats but are a little bigger and a lot more expensive than I am interested in. Boats like that are really problematic from a wheelchair point of view. Generally the gates are small and the nice luxurious furniture makes moving around almost impossible and driving definitely impossible. Older pontoons tend to be the best which is why I am looking at a pontoon kit. I can put the furniture where I want. I can put a removable fishing chair behind the console so others can drive and put a another socket where the chair can go when I am driving etc.

The lake I am talking about is Claytor Lake in Pulaski County VA. 4500 acres. I am calling it small.

It does sound like lithium batteries are the way to go. I guess you get what you pay for and the price point of the 48 volt Ray electric is about right. I have some weight capacity numbers from the kit manufacturer and am going to start adding components up.

The next question, The Ray Electric is set up like a golf cart, why do these things use 6 volt lead acid batteries but 12 volt lithium? Is there a reason or just that nobody makes 6volt lithium?

Thanks,
John
