The fastest electric boat so far is..
0:02
This clip is proudly powered by Partsview.com. They are marine parts and outboard superstore
0:07
They have 20, 100, 300-hour maintenance kits for Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, as well as Mercruiser
0:14
You can get a discount using the link in the descriptions below. The fastest electric boat so far is Princeton University's Big Bird
0:22
And this electric boat broke the record and now holds it at 114 miles an hour
0:28
So that is the best that we have. have for the electrics. I want to say I calculated that down to 182 horsepower based on how you can
0:36
convert an electric engine to horsepower because it's totally different. But that is about what we
0:43
have. The engine for Big Bird was an electric outboard that was co-developed with Flux Marine. Flux Marine is an
0:49
electronic outboard manufacturer. And those are the world's fastest boats. For our next comment
0:54
though, we have Eric and says about how much for a full rewire of a 27
1:00
foot boat. So this is going to depend vastly on what you want to do with the boat. On average for a 27
1:07
foot boat, depending on if you're doing it yourself or you are paying someone to do it, how much
1:12
stuff are you changing? For just the rewire and that's changing out your switches and all the
1:16
wiring in the boat, battery switches, breakers and fusing and stuff like that, you're probably going to be
1:22
in the boat for roughly to just in the parts If you changing the components on the boat as well you probably going to be in the to range because of all the components And then if you are changing out the components
1:42
and the electronics being your VHF, your radio and your Garmin, your GPS transducer, all that stuff
1:49
you're probably going to be pushing $20,000 to $25,000, depending on what packages you go with
1:56
and then if you pay someone to do that, you are probably going to be looking at anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000
2:04
maybe even $50,000 based on what you put in that boat. Being a 27-foot boat has a lot of space
2:11
Is it a cuddy cabin? Is it a cruiser? Is it just a center console
2:15
Because the different things that you're going to have on the boat are going to vary because the 27-foot boat, I mean
2:21
you can have a lot of different types of boats with a lot of different types of electronics and stuff
2:26
in the boat because 27 feet is getting into a be a larger boat
2:31
And then Jeff Platts says, I asked you during the live about V-Vor hydraulic steering
2:37
Yeah, we did a live last Tuesday, a couple weeks ago. That was awesome
2:41
If you missed it, we apologize. We do do a live every week for our boaters program and channel members
2:48
So if you have not joined the Broder's program, you can do that. We do have lives, which is a lot more interactive, asking questions and stuff like that
2:56
opposed to the podcast where it's mainly answering the questions, but he put the VVor hydraulic steering on his 1996 21 Boston Whaler outrage and have to say he impressed so far Insulation was easy and it handled similar to the C also paid compared to for the C
3:15
So V-Vor is definitely something that I want to try out. I'm glad that you did say this, Jeff, because, yeah, for $400 for the complete system, it is, I mean, that's crazy
3:25
but yeah to save 1500 bucks on the hydraulic steering system it would probably depend also on the
3:34
horsepower rating i don't know how high v4 will go i want to say that they only do like 50
3:41
horsepower i don't know if they're systems you can put on a 300 or not i have not looked into it
3:46
that much but i do want to try that and i appreciate you letting us know that jeff that is a great
3:51
comment simplify says is this stuff any good for a transom in a John boat. So now we're talking about PVC board. And I will say this, John. So PVC board is
4:02
very, very soft. It is not near as durable as Starboard or other types of plastics, but it is, you know
4:09
it's not going to rot. It's plastic. For using on a Johnboat, I'm sure you could use it as a backing
4:15
plate, maybe double it up so it's an inch thick and use a transom saver or depending on the engine
4:22
Because if you're just clamping the outboard on, say you've got a 25, horse and you're clamping it, you're not bolting it, you definitely want to put something in front
4:31
of the PVC but as far as the structure of it using it as a transom I will say this we did use it on a 13 whaler about 10 years ago I helped a friend of mine we did a transom out of the PVC board
4:46
So, and I mean, he did most of the work. I was just kind of hanging out for it. But I did see it done and it seemed to work
4:53
The boat, I mean, the boat's still being used 10 years later. So, you know, it held up there, but that's encapsulated in fiberglass
5:01
So a lot of the strength is the fiberglass, supposed to. to on the John boat
5:05
You're going to have the outside layer of the Johnboat, which is going to be either an aluminum or some type of metal
5:11
depending on the brand and what the boat's made out of. But I would say using it as a backing plate
5:17
if you double it up, make it an inch thick. It's going to give you enough strength to hold a 25 horse
5:23
I mean, obviously depending on the Johnboat, I mean, you don't want to put like a 90 on there or something like that
5:28
That might be pushing the limits. But giving it the thickness, gives you strength in the structure and having an outside layer being a transom saver and the
5:40
outside layer of the boat, that metal is going to give you, it's going to be your strength
5:46
and the thickness of the PVC board is going to give you strength. So, I mean, I think you could
5:52
do it if you, depending on how you did it. You know, you have to be careful. You don't want to just put
5:57
the clamps on the PVC board because it's going to, it's going to, the stuff is soft. It's going to smash it
6:03
and it will fail. Your engine will fall off if you just use that PVC
6:07
