One thing for certain John, when it comes to boats nothing is ever cheap.
After much investigation & pricing, I decided to purchase a browning in line single stage helical gear drive. Final ratio works out to 1.75-1.
I looked looked at Baldor & Nord, Browning was a few bucks cheaper.
Also talked with James at Electroprop last week. What a knowledgeable man he is. Anyone out there that has the cash to pay full boat for a system would not go wrong doing business with him.
Once I get the install complete I'll post a couple of pictures.

Hi Bob,
Interesting when scaled up. The same economics in a sense in
trying to maximise the serial efficiency of an electric
propulsion system to maximise range for the least cost.
