[Electric Boats] An Interesting New Electric launch

 

Cal Drake just sent me some photos of his little electric launch of his
own design, Surprise, being tested on Dexter Lake, southeast of Eugene,
Oregon, back in September. Cal was inspired by Phil Bolger's Sneakeasy
and Lake Launch outboard motorboats. He used a 24V dual-pod bolt-on
trolling motor for power, with four group 29 lead/acid batteries in two
banks.

Looks like it'll be a nice boat! I'll try to get Cal to send me some
photos of the installed pods...
