launch with seating for up to four adults.

A Briggs & Stratton Etek motor (Lynch design) running at 24 volts via a 4QD speed controller gives a the boat top speed of approx. 10kph.

Power is provided by four 38AH lead-acid gel batteries arranged as two independent banks with separate isolator switches.  A pair of LCD digital panel meters display motor current consumption and battery voltage.   Charging from mains power is by a portable automatic battery charger.
