Also very interested in this. I'm leaning towards 25 or 35 horse lower end in order to get the larger prop capability. Would love to hear from folks that are happy with their results or even those who are not but have experience to share.
Thanks

Subject: [Electric Boats] Long shaft outboard for electric conversion - which one?
I'm going to be looking for a junk outboard to use for an electric-repower project soon.
The end result needs to be a 3Kw or 5Kw 48V setup that will power a 3,000 sailboat hull that will be used for extended river cruising at 4-6 mph.
I know that I'll need a larger than the normal 6 to 9.9HP that would normally power this boat to ensure durability of lower end components with the torque of an electric.
What is the range of long-shaft outboard "cores" I should consider? I would imagine 15 at the lower end as big as they make a long shaft at the upper end, but would appreciate any input.
Are there some types or brands that lend themselves to electric conversion better than others?
Thanks.
Greg Murphy
