[Electric Boats] Re: is there a maximum HP that is available in Electric Motor sizes for Outboards?

 

Yes to almost everything, but you will need a lot of money and be able to enjoy very short moments of pleasure. Use the search function and you will find almost all your answers in this group.

The type motor I think you will need, I have seen a picture of one mounted in a four place plane, it would fly for about one hour using a li-po battery pack $$$$$$$$, in a boat I would think maybe 15 or 20 minutes at best.

Lets see what others say ??

> Hi , im going to convert a 1985 125 hp force outboard to an electric motor, Im pretty sure it will be a DC system, but i was wondering what size electric motor is best , and what is available for this type of outboard? If i can, i would like it to maintain its 30 knot top speed and handling. Has anyone done this kind of conversion? Is it reasonable for a DIY project? or should it be done by a shop.?
