Unique electric boat with lovely woodwork in excellent condition. Front seating with removable backrest. Open central deck area for additional stand-alone seating. New 1.8kW reversible brushless motor attached to a weed shedding propeller. The drive mechanism is chain and sprocket. I have the pulleys to convert to a cam-belt drive which would be quieter. I don't know the origins of the hull but it is well built. The keel has been extended, making it deeper, to provide extra stability. Steering is via cables. The electrical system is 48V. The battery pack is 12ah and comes in a carry case so it can be removed for charging. Battery isolator switch fitted. Battery packs cost around £60 making this a far cheaper, more versatile, system than traditional electric boats with built in batteries. Each battery pack will give you a >2hr endurance at a gentle cruising speed. Three packs will last you all day. I have used the same setup on a tour boat for 5 years without any problems. Trailer is twin axle and functional. It was repainted last year.
