Since I started this thread I've found out that it is an Electracraft Sport Boat that was made in limited quantities quite awile ago. It's been perfect for our lake and keeps the full speed just under the max lake speed of 5 mph. I've since rebuilt the motor with new bearings and cleaned...

Great to hear about your experiance with this motor! Is there a way to change out the plastic gears in an existing 3kW motor to the metal gears? If so, can someone share a link?

Wow, sad really. Sign of the times I guess. Still it sucks though .... Hope it all works out the way you wanted. Best of luck on this my friend!

Those hooked teeth are evidence of a stretched chain. It may look in perfect shape but definatley stretched. I went through this constantly on motorcycle builds years ago. It's the "Tim Allen Syndrome" kicking in! LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEAoQckYfmk

:bigthumb: That was freeking awesome Matt! What size battery pack are you using for the 4kW blasts?

So what does the Freewheel Spider do? It looks like a spacer.

So what is the latest on these cells? How well are they holding up? Who is selling them?

What HP was the outboard originally and what size prop is it swinging? Did you happen to get any RPM readings? BTW, what do you think about those batteries? Where they up to your expectations? The reason I'm asking all these questions is I just got an electric boat. It is currently running...

Oh that is just too cool, I'm glad you were successful with it! :bigthumb: What were your final numbers on the power it required? ( running volts, amps, watts?)

Well it does have a 24V 25amp battery charger installed so I'm thinking yes. Couldn't find any info on this model specifically. I'm thinking that it must have been from last century judging by the hull style. If you have any info on it or a better link that you can share I'd really appreciate...

Can you recommend a brushed controller. Needs to have reverse.

I've been doing lots of searching the past few days. Google has been running hot from all the use I've given it. Anyway, I found out what my boat is. It's made by Electracraft and it's thier Sport Boat that they no longer make. I haven't been able to find a year yet but I'll keep looking. BTW...

Well over the past 2 days I charged each battery separately and they all came up to 6.4V and held overnight. I did take it on a short test run this afternoon. Motor and/or the bearing makes some noise. Looking things over I can tell that they have been under water before and probably need new...
