That was neat! Been screwing around with my huge canoe and 10’ flat-bottom. If I had to do it all over I would have gone for this. OTOH, we can get those two boats in the water by hand.
How’s it do against current? We could barely move the boat upstream on a quick-ish creek. I’m also in Florida (NW) so I imagine our ideas of current are about the same. Everything’s flat, nothing is fast.
Yeah, solar and a LiPO4 battery are game changers. My trolling motor isn’t nearly as nice as yours but I’ve never come close to wearing out the battery. Wish I know about those all along! Why 2 batteries instead of a fat 500Ah? Something I don’t know?
Nav lights yet? I love rolling my own electronics and it’s pretty cheap for what we’re doing.
Man! I’m sorely tempted to ditch the 10’ and look into this. Can’t afford it right now, but maybe next year. Got a purchase link?
Ah! The blurb made me think so. Anyway, the dude spent $2,300 in shipping. Yikes. That and the other money he has in it, I can get a boat hull and make it electric.

Yeah, I bet you could pick up a used canoe or pontoon or something off Craig’s List or something for pretty cheap and kit it out.
