Re: [Electric Boats] newbe question

 

Joe,
 
Thunderstruckev.com is one place to find most of the parts.
 
If you want to tinker, build something unique but not spend a fortune I'd recommend the electric rudder route.  You can get a nice brand new PWM control trolling motor for $2-$300.  Mount the motor in your new rudder blade, mount the controller head someplace convenient, build a battery box and you are almost home.

PS: Google "electric rudder" or go the woodenboat forum and search for electric rudder posts.  There are some pictures there of   installations.
