Re: [electricboats] Newbie - 20+ foot boat for wide/long river in Guyana, South America

I currently have a 75HP two stroke on a custom built wooden 20 ft deep V.  We use this for almost every trip now.

 

Thanks

Raj

One more question - with the load you carry (persons and gear) - how much HP do you now require to go the speed you want and size and type of current boat. 

a deep V hull is not needed for river cruising and takes more power to go the same speed as a modified V hull.
