Hello. I am a new member and would welcome advice regarding converting my boat (a home built 16' tug) from 25hp diesel to electric drive. I am having trouble figuring out what size motor I need as I don't have displacement info on this boat etc. She weighs about 3000lbs. Beam at waterline is 7'. Length at waterline is 16'. Submerged depth is 2' not including keel/rudder. The motor is old and probably would honestly rate at 20 hp. My hull speed is 4 knots max and I attain that using only 1200 rpm. Motor max rpm under load is about 2200 .
I have looked at plug and play systems from the bigger companies but they are $5500 us and up which is above my budget for a drive system before batteries. I have found two companies that have sail boat systems for about $1600 us (Thunderstruck and Electricmotorsport) they are both in California. Does anyone have any advice or can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Kim
