[Electric Boats] Jet ski conversion tips?

 

Hi,

I'm a new member and joined to learn what I can about converting a 2-stroke jet ski to use an electric motor. Is it even possible to convert such a boat to electric without sacrificing performance? Or is this a complete pipe dream?

Here are the current performance specs for the sake of comparison. The current engine is a 650 cc motor that makes around 90 hp, turning a 15 degree impeller at around 6000 rpm at full throttle. The hull is about 7 ft long by 2 ft wide, with around 6 inch draft when moving at half-speed or faster. It has a top speed of close to 45 mph.

Any thoughts? I'm mostly interested if this is theoretically possible, so for now, cost isn't the issue.

Thanks,
Rob
