So did you pursue the electric motor? It's a great idea who's time has come! If you did/are doing it, can you give an update? If you decided against it, was there some huge obstacle?

Thank you,


Steve

Got little use of my boat this year- sailed on everybody elses though.

Still thinking of the conversion for spring- hope prices drop a little by then since the techonology will be less new. A 4.5 KW perminant magnet brushless motor should do the trick. Since I hope to do little motoring, I may go with 36 volts to see if its enough.

I have mine mounted in the center and it only interferes with the rudder if I have the transom lowered too low. Then again mine is only a 5hp.
