Hi Billy,

It's doable although I don't think I ran across anyone that has actually done it yet. I don't think the concept has gone past words on this site even though the concept can be done. You would need a slower but efficient motor and the top of the boat would likely be all solar panels. It would probably look like a floating solar panel until you work out the kinks and make up a design. If you are inspired, do it!

The best road to take is the one less travelled. You will never know where your experiments will take you unless you try them. Who knows, you might pave the road for others to follow later on. That's what hobbies are all about anyway...

This site will have just about everything you need to powera solar boat except the RC transmitter/reciever. Their prices are very good so doing it shouldn't break the bank.

Be creative and have fun!
