[Electric Boats] electric planing skiff rev2

 

Hi all,
This video might look familiar to a recent one I posted, but this time we have a Torqeedo 4.0 powering the skiff. Top speed was a little over 12mph and it easily sustains 11.5mph even in turns. Still using a set of heavy AGM's for testing, so nothing fancy about the batteries. For the production model we will build this boat in the Kevlar version with a small remote steering console. This test boat is good old fiberglass.

With these batteries the boat certainly has its limitations, but then again for its intended use I think it works. 89 amps draw at 12mph, 25 amps draw at 6mph.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me off list.
Best,
Todd
