Right now the motor compartment is very much in the prototype mode. I have
not had an opportunity to dress up the wiring. So we decided not to release
any detail photo's just yet. At the shows we have been to I always put a
disclaimer explaining our lack of neatness at this point.

Besides I have to tell you how nice it is to be hull speed cruising with
the wind from your back and not smelling any exhaust fumes at all!

Do you have any under-the-hood photos? (Didn't see any on the web site.)

For how long - 20 seconds?
Leave it to you to try and **** on anything that you haven't done or
tried or tasted, or anything....
You probably don't know it, because you've lived your whole life not

Hey, the guy is up in here spamming our site, hoping to sell boats, I
think we have been kind...- Hide quoted text -

I should not have said "our" site, honest mistake...

It's not a "site" either. It's a usenet newsgroup.




The guy is trying to sell boats? In a boating newsgroup?
The horror of it.

Maybe he should retain a magazine advertorial writer and get a "great
review" written?

What me try to sell boats? Honestly I just thought you guys might like to
see a new boat the style of which has not been built for decades.

I am open to discuss construction techniques and such in this forum.

By the way, anyone interested in buying one of these? G

Too bad you're so far from the Muskoka region of Ontario. Three beautiful
connected lakes with many wealthy American and a few 'comfortable Canadian
cottagers. It would be an ideal place to run one around for a few days to
get some interest flowing.

techniques?

I'm not that's for sure.

Although if you could transfer that drive technology to a 23' CC that
will do 30 mph on extended runs - like say for eight hours - I'd be
all over it. :)

He sells them with motors! I think you want to ask if he will sell
one with an "engine"

Actually this boat is a traditional plank on frame construction. We did
incorporate a ply/ plank bottom to reduce maintanance issues. But other
than that it is built using traditional methods. I did improve on the deck
to hull construction. CC used the margin plank/beam and butted the side
frames and deck frames into that. I married the deck frames directly to the
side frames and treated the margin planks like planks. Much thinner and
lighter but still very strong. We used a gel epoxy throughout the boat
along with about 7000 silicon brone boat screws. While we did not have to
steam any of the planks or other components we did utilize very hot water
baths for 20 minutes for the more agressive bends.

Just for the record, we are using a 15000 watt battery pack that weighs 828
lbs. Add to that the battery cable, 2/0 welding cable, the charger, this is
a plug in, Controllers etc.

With battery technology what it is today we are lucky to push a nice little
light weight hull like ours as much as we can. The future however is
looking brighter for much better batteries with higher capacity and much
less weight. Still I would venture a guess that a 23' CC would probably
weigh 3500 4000 lbs? Our baby weighs in at a mere 2200 without passengers.
I used a monocoque construction which enabled me to use much smaller
scantlings through out the boat. She was designed for this application.

For your application if you want to go green, bio-diesel then you have a
real stink pot G

We have had a lot of people ask that. It all depends on how many electric
boats we sell vs. produce. If we can build more boats than we sell electrics
we have tossed that around. One possibility is to sell raw complete hulls
for others to complete in what ever manner they want. But it is too soon to
make those decisions yet.

We are targeting the western U.S. for the immediate future. However we have
been told by several people that there is a worldwide market for these
boats. We had her up at the Port Townsend Wood Boat show in September and
people from Austria, Germany and France all expressed the possibilities of
the European market. Our plan is to be building a hundred boats a year in
four to five years.

What are the names of those lakes?

Lake Muskoka to the south (north of Toronto)
Rousseau in the middle (where I attended a sailboat rendezvous in August)
Lake Joseph to the north

Real cottage country to central Canada
Your market would be very limited in my area (Nova Scotia) due to low
population, and mostly coastal boating on the North Atlantic.
