I'm building a Pocketship and considered a pod motor, but I read a paper that showed that the pod drag becomes a large percent as boat weight goes down; which does make sense. I just hadn't thought of it that way. I'm thinking I'm going to use a epropulsion Evo with remote throttle, and raise it up when sailing. It does have regeneration, so I could put it down if winds are strong (needs over 4 knots to start regen). But again, the drag will be large on a lighter boat.
