Ok, I have seen a few threads about e boats lately and I am looking into building one now.
I am looking at two different options. Either a small speed type boat, or a jet ski. These have two different propulsion systems, so it looks like coupling in an electric would be a different task for each style. Does anyone have any experience or information on attaching an electric motor to an outboard setup or onto a jet system?
While looking around I also found a shuttlecraft, which seems to be a mix of both. From a boat perspective, I guess it might be kinda lame. But from a PWC perspective it is pretty cool. Lets you have the performance of a PWC, but then if you have more people that you want to take out with you, you can just dock up and have an expansion. You can also undock once out on the water to go play with the PWC, and your passengers can have a floating platform to enjoy out on the water rather then waiting on the beach. I was thinking it would be cool to have the PWC set up for pure performance and have an aux pack on the shuttlecraft for longer time out on the water.
