Re: [Electric Boats] Spincraft Silent 1 video fuel cons. claim

 

There are sure some fine e-boats on the market.   Dennis Wolf's is a beauty, and the Grapeview point boats are too. This Spincraft is a very pretty little boat too.  However, listening to the video on their site (http://www.spincraftboats.com/video/spincraft.wmv) I was taken aback to hear them claim that while their boat will run on .9 liters per hour (gen set), a normal diesel boat of this size will use about 4.5 gals per hour.  Really?  I know of a 50' x 14' trawler that goes 7 knots on 4.5 gals/hr (671-N).  Are they ignorant or just think that we are?

Subject: [Electric Boats] Spincraft Silent 1 for sale

 

Am thinking of selling my 2006 Spincraft Silent 1. It's the basic model--no fancy woodwork. Same colors, trim, etc., as in picture at http://www.spincraftboats.com/. I bought it new. Have a trailer for it and a guy that will deliver it fairly cheap. I've added a surrey top and another battery--for the bilge pump. There's an OK cockpit cover. The boat's a little big for where we have it--a lake in upstate NY--and we have a smaller homebuilt one we put on the hard when we got this one.

If you or someone you know are interested, eMail me at sweeton@fastmail.fm.
