Re: [Electric Boats] Just joined/reply

 

Hello Jonathan and All,

I have just launched my launch....AWSOME!!

Just under 18 ft.   Will be about 1100 lb. when all the wood work is finished.

I added extra ballast to  equal the wood and passengers. 

White caps were breaking against the launching ramp dock,

but the motor had more than enough power.  I did not have my GPS, but 

from the looks of the wake and the feel I think I was close to hull speed at 1/2 speed.

When I went from  1/2 speed to reverse, I almost slid off the seat!

I want to thank Arby Brent for making such a fantastic motor!

And to thank him and his crew for all the help they gave me to make this launch a success.

Best to all,

Welton

Dear All,

I am building an eighteen foot motor cruiser and had planned to use a diesel engine. Following discussion on the Origami Group I am now keen to find out more about electric power..

Jonathan.
