Uh, guys..... I hate to sound selfish but I had originally asked about the feasibility of using an inexpensive controller (i.e. one for an e-scooter) on a 10hp manta motor. Can anyone help with that? Do feel free to continue the discussion about the other boats and systems but some advice/help with my question would be appreciated. FYI, Bob, I CAN beat ya :). Got my 22 ft daysailer for $1.60 on Ebay and I'm also restoring a San Juan 26 that I got for free :). (preceeding comment made in a good natured manner and not intended to be rude, competitive, or one-uppish)

I have noticed that there are motor controllers out there running everywhere from about 35 bucks for a 1000W 36V controller advertised for e-scooters up to more than 500 bucks for a top end model that will probably make my coffee in the morning. I looking at using a manta motor with 36V power. What advice do you all have out there that will keep me from making a costly (or cheap, as the case may be) mistake.
