I estimate 2000 watts-2500 watts will get me to 80% hull speed, (like 5 knots). but we will see in trials in the coming weeks.
just want to say hey to another sailboat converter...you can do it, gear down your electric motor to run prop @ 1000 rpm. , use voltage 12- 24-, 36-, 48v to choose your speed in a slow-low-medium-high switch....you will save so much more over a high amperage motor controller.
I'm using 50 AH wheelchair batteries AGM type, 25 lbs apiece, Under $90 ea delivered for power. My 21 foot electric sail boat (rk21) ran over 6 miles at 1600 watts/5knots on mostly just two battteries more than adequate for you Baltimore harbor needs
go electric!!!
