Haha, JamesG123, you must be a Skynet fan :) So I've contacted some "large" 3d printer manufacturing companies, started discussions, we'll see...
Dear All, I was wondering about the practical use of 3d printing technology during a boat building process. My first boat (18 feet 2 seater...
I'm not that concerned about shock. The batteries I have in mind are DNV-GL rated for commercial marine use. I think that all the manufacturers...
Regarding the hull design.. it seems that the tunnel hull is out. Remaining possible choices: hickman, shallow V, monohedron hull with lift...
Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. As for the weight for the electric propulsion system: the lightest 40kW marine DC brushless...
If you plan 1 trip/day, 18km.. I woul calculate with 22-25km, just to be safe.. You're right about consumption, it's only a rough estimate but...
Yes, after doing some research I've found out that the desing (or manufacturers) I'm looking for are quite uncommon. For me, it makes the whole...
Well, what would be your operational profile? What is the planned daily cruising distance and what is the required cruising speed? What are the...
Hi everybody, glad to be a new member of this great community. I have a pet project in my mind which is creating a "race" style boat with...
Will do, since I'm looking for a) a 14m x 6/7m catamaran hull design for electric propulsion b) a max 6m LOA 2 person powerboat (tunnel hull...
Jedidiah: I would begin with thinking what the conversion would mean in terms of capcity, weight distribution, center of gravity, buoyancy......
What I don't know however, how much a catamaran hull would cost, or how much it would cost to desing a new hull. There are a lot of naval...
These batteries are very efficient (96% @ 0,5C, 94% @ 1C). You can decide which cell to use. For two 30kW motors I would use 2x60 kWh battery...
