Electric outboards

[Andrew Hamilton]

I am looking to putting an electric outboard on my 17ft noreasterDory (CLC). Possibly building a stern box into the hull. Is there any views out there for the best performing, most reliable. Preferably switchable battery pack for double range etc. This will be my tender.

I use a Newport Vessels, 55# thrust on a 10' Livingston. Motor cost about $200 on Amazon. I haven't traveled distances, but use it as a utility boat around my dock. It makes about 7-8 knots. I use the terminals shown on Amazon for about $7. It makes switching between batteries easy. I've been using a standard car battery for about 4 years, but I don't draw it way down.
I now chain my motor to the boat. I had 2 stolen.

Check out the YouTube channel Sailing Soulianis. They just released a video where they took delivery. I am interested too.
