Yes if you take your voltage and multiply it by your amp draw I am sure you will have around 10,000 watt setup . and that's about right for a boat of that size . for a boat the size of mine it's just not viable to run electric , I'd be spending $1,000s of dollars and hrs charging time to have 2 min runs . I have a extra Kioirtz 40cc that I ran in my 57" V hull and it would blow out a 86mm prop with no trouble, we tacked it over 15,000 rpm , will cost me nothing and I can run the boat for a full hour if I want . yep she is going GAS ... but thanks for all your help guys if nothing else I understand the limitations of electric . cheers my friends ..
