Brian Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Anyone want a pair of 600hp engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohgreatone Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Mused on this for a while, thinking about car bhp's and the like, wondering if Elon Musk or anyone will decide to go in for electric outboards, not little putputs but something with oomph. If we're going carbon free something is going to have to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I've ordered 3 for Tiddler. Saved a fortune as I don't need any batteries but It'll look good when my Brother comes over. He's easily impressed by "flashy" stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 That's great, now all you need is a decent inboard diesel jenny to charge it up! Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I think I'll invent something that's powered by Hot air produced when the wives tell us we're wrong ! ! Limitless power ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 The Merc 600s and nice purring V12 engines, so big they steer from the gearbox so the block stays still.Power to weight and prob £, the 450 Mercurys are suppose to be better.I do like the idea of duo props on outboards, they certainly have come a long way in last 10 yrs!R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Match them with suitably sized solar panels, add storage for overnight use, and the range is unlimited. The bad news is the size would be something like a football field, the weight of batteries would sink the average battleship,,and you'd probably still not get it on the plane.
