Re: [electricboats] Quest for 2X Hull Speed

I retrofitted an old Johnson 9.9hp with one of these:

Far less expensive than any of golden motor's offerings, although it did require some thought and skill to marry the two into a workable platform.

Interesting project. Thanks for sharing.

I use a Haswing Protruar 1.0 motor with an APC 11x6 tractor prop. I figured out that I could mount the control head backwards, so the prop is facing forwards. I added a spinner in front of the prop to minimize drag. The only noticeable drag now is from the vertical shaft. I typically run the motor at about 50% power, about 300W, giving 3-4 knots boat speed (multihull, some drag). I only notice cavitation if the water gets quite choppy.
