hi,

not sure if i'm in the right group (?) but have a novice question to
ask about what sort of electrical motor (specs, batteries needed) I
would need for a boat that weights 275kg (for 4 people). It is 4.6m by
1.7m long and has a max.weight of 900kg. It is steered via steering
wheel and is a custom construction.

I would like to use the boat for 3-6 hours a day (for weekend use), and
be able to travel at a moderately fast speed (no powerboating, just
travelling at a leisurely speed).

What specs should the engine have, what specs should the batteries
have, and what companies can anyone recommend? would be grateful for
any replies!
