Gas to electric conversion
Just wanted to share some pics of a recent conversion project.
My dad bought me this boat in the late 1970's and it has been sitting on various shelves for may years. It last ran in the early 1990s.
With some help from Mic H on the Intlwaters forum and parts from this site, the conversion was made! The boat is a Dumas DV 40-CF from the early 1970s and had a KB 6.5 exhaust throttle.
Per Mic's advice it now has a:
Motor: Leopard 4074 Motor | Offshore Electrics 1400kv
ESC: OSE Raider 6s 150amp
Prop: CNC Prop 42mm 3 BLD - 3/16" bore
Batteries: 2pcs 22.2V 3300mAh 6S LiPo Battery 50C (eBay YOUME brand)
Radio: STX3 3-Channel
Please don't flame me for the battery connection, still waiting for the proper connectors to come in the mail.
The boat is really fast and fun to run! I have borrowed a radar gun from my father in law and will post speed results and video when I can get another person to help me collect the data. Thanks again for the advice!
