Hey all - I’m looking to pick your brains on a project I have been dreaming up for a while. I have a 23ft tunnel hull boat without a motor and I want to figure out an electric inboard solution. The link here is the same boat:

My goal is to hit 45-60 mph and don’t have any significant range expectations. I have been looking at the tesla kit motors from EVWest.

I was hoping to power the motor with 20 1kW 36V batteries in whatever configuration works best. I also have multiple charging solutions.
I was wondering if you all think the boat’s conversion to electric will impact weight distribution negatively with the tunnel hull design? I know tunnel hulls are a popular choice for RC boats but didn’t find much out there on any conversions.
Anyways, thanks for you all being so knowledgeable - this community is awesome.
