Re: [Electric Boats] Re: My Electric Boat Conversions

 

I converted a 41 foot Chris Craft Commander,  at 13 tons displacement I would say your Sea Ray would be lighter,  below is a blog post showing what my Semi-displacement hall needs to make it move.   34kw or 46hp gets my hull to hull speed.  She will never plan again,  but I sure do like all the extra space as a classy live aboard.

As the OP about the Sea Ray, thank you for the insight I was scanning for.  I have no intention of trying to get on plane if I were to do the conversion.  I understand the requirements for that would be prohibitive in cost, size, and complexity.  What I am looking to do is more like the e-Tolly project, but in an updated platform, and retaining my creature comforts of air conditioning, 120v power, etc via an onboard generator.  I am lucky enough to live in an area where nearly everything we wish to do on a boat is well within an hour's reach at 6-7 knots.  I needlessly carry around 800 hp that I rarely utilize.  That is the whole point for me.
