SPEED AND RANGE



This craft is powered by two 12 Volt deep cycle batteries positioned above the keel and located in the bow and stern under the seats. Connected in series, this bank provides 110 amp-hours at 24 Volts. This means that at full speed, traveling 5.2 MPH (4.5 Knots) and drawing 30 amps, the boat will travel 19 miles or for 3.6 hours. However, at a cruising speed of 4.5 MPH (3.9 Knots) drawing 16 Amps the boat will travel 29 miles or 6.5 hours. At a trolling speed of 1.2 MPH drawing 1 amp a charge will last over 100 Hrs. After use, the boat is "plugged in" using a conventional marine extension cord and the built in trickle charger recharges the batteries within 7 hrs. All calculations are based on a 50% depletion of the battery cells in order to maximize the life span and battery cycles. A 25% reserve is available but should only be used in emergency and should not be calculated into normal running operation. (See Chart and Graph)
