do you have the design for the hull finish, would be interested in seeing it.
What area do you live in, would be interested in looking at your boat as I am thinking of the same idea for a small lake boat.
Do you plan on one wheel on the back or a wheel on each side?
What horse power do you think you neeed?
I have used a treadmill motor(100volt dc rated), using a 48V dc motor controller.
It didn't rev up too high as it was only half the voltage, but maybe enough for your design.
They seem to be designed fairly well, and can usually get a treadmill for free, and the motors seem to always be OK.

Subject: [Electric Boats] Electric paddlewheel
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.
