Subject: [Electric Boats] Converting a 30' to electric

 
So I'm converting my 30' to electric, and thought I might get a few ideas.  I'm trying to size batteries, motors, etc. 

It's LOA 30.75 (LWL 27.92) with an 11,000 lb. displacement.

I intend to remove much of the interior weight as possible (obviously engine, tanks, hosing, etc) as well as other features not needed anymore (appliances) to support more stored energy.

I've read many discussions on larger sized props; how would one go about determining the best prop?

What would be an acceptable motor for this size and displacement?  Due to where I'm at, there can be substantial currents.

My initial battery bank would be about 10 kw, does this sound under sized?  I'm not looking to go particularly fast, so I should be able to make it stretch fairly well at low speed, but can go higher if there's a good argument for it.  I am looking for distance/duration more than speed.
