JACKO WITH CHEW YOUR ASS OUT!!! MIKE Bob La Londe wrote: In my search for the perfect boat... LOL ... I looked at many different ideas. The small electric boats were interesting. Not very practical due to limited range and function, but interesting. Glen-L has three electric designs. http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/poweryak.html http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/ampeater.html http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/lovoltage.html Plus a couple electric motor setups http://www.glen-l.com/designs/specia...tricdrive.html http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/etm.html Again, the idea is intriguing, but with every design you are either limited by range or function. I am sure the kayak design has the range, but kayaks and me just aren't meant to tangle. Some of the launches are really interesting, but then the range is very limited. Then I ran across this thing. http://tinyurl.com/8vqg I could not get the main site URL to open, but I found it on a froogle search. Basically it is a n electric boat with an array of solar cells. That cures both range and function problems. I sure it has its limitations. One of those would be the ten thousand dollar price tag at Hamhocker and Slimer, but a creative builder with basic electrical knowledge should be easily able to add solar cells on a top to a design like this one. http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/ampeater.html or this one http://www.glen-l.com/designs/special/lovoltage.html I already have my project figured out, and I'm not about to start anoither boat building project, but I thought that somebody ehre might find the idea worth playing with. Scotty? You like the small boats. What do you say? Take me for a ride in your new solar powered electric boat when you finish it?
