Have just joined the group and any help gratefully received.
I have sailed extensively on sailboats but now, due to old age, am building a 23' semi displacement powerboat (very similar to a Devlin Surf Scoter) which is designed for a 60 hp petrol outboard. I would love to power by electric means only as I hate petrol and noise.
An electric outboard would be preferred to keep internal space maximised, but inboard systems could be used.
With the 60hp outboard cruising speed is about 8 knots and maximum is about 18 knots. I would like to maintain those speeds.
Having done a bit of web research, all systems seem very expensive and I am prepared to try and build something from basic components if necessary although my electrical skills are limited.
I am in the UK.
Any views/comments/assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Chris Harnan
