Re: [electricboats] Newbie looking for guidance

Hi Tom,
Your boat looks great!
If you're considering something low power on the order of 3 HP and have more time than money, you might get a motor and controller for $100-$200.  Study the torque charts and your propeller geometry to see if you need to modify the prop for higher RPM.  Get a set of 12V (nominal) LiFePO4 batteries for another $100.  You may have an iteration or three to resolve the differences between theory and water.  Once you have it working, buy additional batteries according to how long you want it to run before you switch to oars.
Cheers
Halden
