Do a search on the loon pontoon boat and see if it meets your budget

Really loving my Ray Outboards at 48 volts. One will push you just fine. Buy some nice lithium batteries if your able and rig for 48v. Can't go wrong.

Hi,

I am looking at pontoon boat kit companies and hoping to end up with a small electric pontoon.

I am a wheelchair user so pontoon boats are the simplest bet. My target body of water is a lake so small should work with inherent benefits of lower cost, easier towing and so forth. I am looking at 14 or 16' long with 7' beam (is that the right word for a pontoon boat?)

The kit business goes back to the wheelchair, it is the only way to get what I want where I want it.

The electric option just makes sense. I have been looking at systems like the Ray Electric Outboard or on of the Elco outboards. The small Torqueedo and Minn-kota e-drive seem a little small.

Anyway Hi and looking forward to learning something.
John
