Re: [Electric Boats] Electric paddlewheel

 

My first thought is, electric fork lift motors or related.  Glenn/a small motor guy

We're in the midst of designing a small electric paddlewheel boat, and would love some feedback.  The vessel as designed would be a flat bottomed (barge type hull) 7 beam by 20' long excursion boat (obviously ne'er intended to plane)  We're looking for a motor/controller kit to power it.  For those not paddle-initiated, the wheel should turn at no more than about 60rpm, so there's quite a bit of down-gearing from the motor.  Ideas?  Product source suggestions?  Our first one of these ran off a winch motor, but the duty cycle of those proved impractically short.
