[Electric Boats] Seeking opinions about this motor as a potential for a 30' Sailboat

 

Love to hear the thoughts from the group about these specs as a potential motor for a 30' sailboat.
 
4 HP 24 VDC ELECTRIC MOTOR
45 AMPS NO LOAD
140 AMPS FULL LOAD
8000 RPM FULL LOAD
32 INCH POUND OF TORQUE
¾" DIAM. X 1 ¾" SHAFT WITH KEYWAY
MOTOR DIMENSION 4" DIAM. X 7 ¾"

My current gas burner shows 3000 RPM as highest rating on the diagram so I am thinking potentially about a 2.6:1 V-Belt configuration driving the shaft via a pulley on each end if I wind up going with this configuration. Your thoughts?

I sure like the approach that Arby has taken with the AMeP too and am seriously considering that path as well. Love to hear thoughts on this approach as well.

Thanks!
Chip
