Yeah you’re totally right about the COG argument as well. So why then do you think you should make a V hull.... If doing so would worsen both the...
Also as someone who knows zilch about hull design, but has seen enough kayaks to know what tracks straight. A V shape in the front and rear, with...
My experience with a 13’ sit on top (hobie Revo 13) with one or two outriggers (hobie sidekicks). One outrigger, just lean so it’s out of the...
Remaining options: Generator and DIY energy storage system independent of the Bixpy battery. Longtail Side-mounted outboard I think we have...

This gives me anxiety. I don’t know much about this. My dad holds a graduate degree in EE and I read this out loud to him and asked if he could...
Regarding the weed eater idea, I fail to see the advantages over a longtail. Seems like longtail motors exist in the same price range (maybe only...
Bixpy responded to my questions regarding the generator idea. They do not recommend charging the battery while discharging it. They say this...
Realistically I could see myself running upwards of 30 miles a day if I could hit that 8-10mph range. I fish for striped bass on Jordan, Kerr, and...
I definitely like this idea of a longtail motor more than I like the idea of having an outboard side-mounted. This seems like the winner given the...
Amen! :confused:
@portacruise yeah those would be my concerns too. My guess would be if charging in float mode (one battery connected to both generator and motor)...
Help me understand some of these terms. What does independent, speed control, and float mode refer to? The generator? The motor? The battery?...
:D Brilliance haha
Thanks to everyone for the advice. I have removed inboard from the list of options. While it would be cool to build, I agree that it’s just not...
