Ok, I finally came to my senses and designed a 14ft monohull. The waterline is just under 6in at 511lbs which is at least 50lb over what the load...
Yeah, I am just waiting on my electrical team to figure stuff out. At this point I cannot change the design anyway, I am out of time. The bouyancy...
what foam would be better?
I really don't know how they got that number as that is not my area on the team. The batteries are brand new, but obviously lead acid is pretty...

Pilot weighs 150lb per the rules, for anyone under weight weight must be added to the boat. The outboard is custom using this motor:...

The electric motor will output about 30hp. The boat only runs on solar power during the endurance event, during the sprint it runs off battery...
Hello people with boat knowledge, I am building [ATTACH] a 12ft electric outboard tunnel hull/catamaran for the college event Solar Splash. I...
