  • Planing vs displacement.

    An aircraft carrier is limited by its hull speed to about 45 pretty much no matter how much power you give it.

    A slow jetski will do 65. I’ve heen on ones that would do that with the “slow” key where supposedly the fast key would let you do 85-90.

    I’ve also been on a tri-tune that did 75.

    An aircraft carrier is about the fastest displacement vessel but when you move into planing hulls its a different ball game.










  • You’d want to use a deep cycle (sometimes labeled “marine”) battery, not a car battery. Car batteries can put out a shit ton of power for a very short time but their total capacity is pretty low.

    Also you still want AGM, Gel or something else sealed like that. You don’t want a Flooded Lead Acid battery charging/being trickle charged inside your house.

    Op could also swap to LiFePO4
