Alex over at the electric boating group they say it takes 750 wats per every 2000lbs of boat to get to hull speed. Alex Christie <achristie@...> wrote:...

1 hp / ton (750 watts / 2000 lbs) will give you hull speed in calm waters with no wind, with a clean hull and prop. 2 or 3 hp / ton gives you a safety...

Timing belts are excellent, but one does need to do the up front engineering to size it right for the torque and probably derate for marine duty. Dave...
Alex, one of the characteristics of the Etek pancake type motor is that you essentially have nearly 100 percent torgue available, whether at 50 or 1000 rpm,...

Wow! It sounds like people have been busy building origami boats on the west coast. Are there many that have been built on the east coast? Would I have to book...
I don't believe Mishar is a center cockpit, unless she has been modified by the new owner. I also was not aware Mike had sold her. I'll give him a call. Gord...
Thanks for the origami boat location information. We will wander down to the Cowichan Bay to check out that boat. I,m not sure about Nanimo as we might just be...
Big ship diesels are two stroke engines, so maybe simply reversing rotation of the engine is practical for them, but then most of their maneuvering is done...
