Glen-L Design Lo-Voltage

Hull and Deck built from Glen-L drawings, this was my twentieth boat I've built and by far my most elegant and most expensive. Currently licensed in Canada but can be licensed or registered in any state or country.The hull color was Flag Blue but it's now base-coat/clear-coat Deep Red, professionally sprayed in a booth by Dupont Marine. No expense was spared:Pod mounted, Torqeedo Cruise 4.0R with digital control and LCD flight computer-Stick steering systemI've never run the batteries toeless than 50%, truthfully, we have never used the boat long enough. We use the boat about 4 hours at displacement speeds, this works out to about 5knots, a silent 5knots I may add. Avoiding the confusing discussion about the metrics of an electric boat, let me try to put into English. I plug the boat in and the onboard smart chargers handle the charging and maintenance float of all six of the marine MasterVolt Gell batteries, most often, I just plug it in the night before of the same day I want to go for a cruise but the smart chargers can just be left plugged in and they will maintain the system. I've got the chargers set for a 4 hour charge cycle, this will keep the batteries healthy for 5 more years but you can change this setting to 2 hours if you want. Just pop the boat into the water, flip on your music and cruise without vibration, smoke, fumes, noise and never any "start-up" issues or any other problem you have with fuel powered boats. This really amazes all the other boaters at the launch ramp! There is a "flight computer" built into the motor and this shows you the current power consumption and battery condition/range in time and or distance.How long will the batteries last? I don't know, who as the time to find out? All my 4-hour cruises leave me with plenty of remaining power and after 2-3 hours of boating I'm finished for the day. If I had to guess, at displacement speeds, you can get a full day of boating with out issue. Some of you will have noticed that I have used the Cruise 4.0R and yes, this is way too big for the boat, but remember, electric motors only use the energy you ask it to, so the power is there if you want it or need to tow friends boat with motor trouble. I typically use 600watts to make 5 knots. There are 4000 watts of power available, so the motor is very happy to run forever.Some features:
