96v Motors - More Advice Needed
This is for the following EV boat. See discussion for more information.

Scenario
On perfectly Flat water with no wind, I will only need about 10kW to keep Hull Speed.
Preliminary research is leading me to these options. But I may be missing a lot. Any feed back on AC induction vs Water cooled Permeant Magnet?
ME1616
Motors DC and PMAC :: ME1616 - would be coupled with a large Curtis controller.

96v Solar Cabin Cruiser Project - Full...
Starting this thread to document the full Solar Boat Conversion Project. Always looking for good advice. The Concept 1) I will eventually be converting a nice 40 Cat or displacement Hull to Electric. Needed a project boat to experiment on first. 2) I found this 23 foot boat for $1800 +...

- But.. when is it ever perfectly flat with no wind.
- I will have a 85kWh Battery that can do 500amps at less than 1C.
- Most trips will be under 20 miles so not afraid to just chow thru battery for small speed gains
- Want the ability to maintain hull speed even in wind / chop
- This is a test system for a much larger boat
- I can re-gear to get 1900 RPM (Belt system)
Preliminary research is leading me to these options. But I may be missing a lot. Any feed back on AC induction vs Water cooled Permeant Magnet?
- What runs better at sustained load
- what are more robust
