Re: [Electric Boats] sailboat

Try Spincraftboats.com in Ottawa , Canada for a very competetive price. I am on the third season with one of their systems. I get 6.4 mph at 36 volts @100 amps and 4 mph at 25 amps , all with a 5000 pound 23 ft sailboat.. For your smaller boat, using the right prop you should get all day at cruising speed of 3-4 mph.

Would like to move at 3-4 mph with short higher speed of 5.

4000 lb sailboat built of wood that originally had a 3.7 gas Kermath or

Lauson engine. I contacted Elco, Asmo, solomon, Thunderstruck and only

Oz Marine made a bid at $6500. The question seems to be how to obtain a

3-4 hr range with only two batteries. Do you know of a different

company? Thanks, jim hitchman
