Re: [electricboats] How do I power my little launch?

Hi Carsten-

My calculated speed is 5.1-5.5 mph. My boat, fully equipped, without passengers, will be under 700 pounds. My thinking is that pushing a light boat with a little more power, if desired, might give it another knot or two. I would normally try to run at 1/2 to 2/3 power to get my displacement speed. 

I don't believe the difference in price between 3kw and 5kw would be too significant.

If it IS overkill, where do I start, to put together all the components? I AM a rookie here. That's what I liked about the Thunderstruck package.....it's all there, save for the batteries and charging system.

Thanks for responding,
Dean
