have you tried a rowing shell, very fast, light,
I have a 21 ft wt 70 lbs. $ $5.000.00
and
a 16 ft 60 lbs. $4,000.00
and
a 16 ft canoe Mad River $1,500.00
what can I do with what I have
on a serious side
30 ft colombia 10,500 lbs
17 ft flat bottom drift boat by mad river 33 in beam 200 lbs
mini kota 24 v 70 lbs thurst = thinking about inboard motor
************** need shaft and propeller for drift boat **************
Price onboats for information (not cheap, quality)

Thanks Dave
In year 2007 a Tornado hull platform was tested. Actually there was only
one Tornado hull plus two small demihulls for stability. Total weight
370kg. Lead deep cycle batteries. Outboard conversion 15 kW. Propulsion
efficiency of less than 40% was achieved with a good large dia
propeller. Max. speed of 14 knots was measured. Test data for comparison:
1 knot 150W
2 knot 250W
3 knot 430W
4 knot 700W
5 knot 1100W
6 knot 1650W
7 knot 2250W
8 knot 3000W
9 knot 4000W
12 knot 6600W
Do not know how to improve the poor 40% efficiency? There was also a
severe heating problem with a motor inside outboard housing. Also the
cat hull platfom itself was a disappointment.
Looking now forward to a long and narrow (WL 9m / 1.2m) monohull elboat
with the same motor in a sort of sail drive assembly. Sitting inside the
hull, but not high over cat hulls.
