That would have been nice if they would have hung it on a tunnel boat :thumbsup

Is this one of those hybrid engines...electric motor, with a gas generator...Prius?

That would have been nice if they would have hung it on a tunnel boat :thumbsup

Battery weight would have sunk it.

It's worth mentioning this engine is 180hp peak and cannot do this continuous duty. My understanding is that continuous power is around 100hp.

With solar re-charging at the dock it would work pretty good I'd say.

Tom, as we know those Campions are laid up [ actually chopper gunned ] so they get on plane pretty quick but I bet it won't run very long on battery power only. Have driven a Fisker Karma my local dealer buddy just bought for 50K [ they're cheap since the problem with government pullout and no warr :yikes] that has a 260hp onboard gas engine to maintain power to the electric motors. The two electric motors have a total of 900 footpounds of torque, yet the car can only do 4.6 sec 0-60. It's a heavy pig.
About 50K for the outboard and 30K for the batteries not many people will fork out the dole when they have to buy a boat as well
on top of it. I think the boating industry need to adapt the hybrid system if they want to build boats with electric propulsion with range.> http://greenlinehybrid.com/Yachts
