  • Our electric boat is solar powered, so energy is always on our mind. The old lead-acid batteries we had weren't quite enough, so we eventually had to upgrade to lithium batteries, only to discover what our next challenges were!

    Quick tip for the shelf edges put pool noodles around them or pipe insulation. Great hip and head saver

    With those new batteries and your solar panels, you probably could make it to Canada!

      It would probably only take us 7 or 8 hours I bet!

    Hey guys, I switched to lithium this year, I'm gonna try to get to the clinton river this year, since you guys are working so hard to keep it clean.

    • @MoneyPitBoating
      @MoneyPitBoating  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Lithium is the way to go! Be careful on the lake... It gets intense sometimes!

    Well your biggest problem is the most obvious problem, you are using ancient sealed lead acid technology 😂

  • @peterjol
    @peterjol 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    You could do with some sort of multi saw blade attachment fixed in front of the boat

    • @MoneyPitBoating

      Instead of paddle wheels , a pair of gonzo massive circular saws !

    One day when you guys have youtube $ to play with you could get a used jet drive outboard with a seized engine...remove the powerhead(engine) and replace it with an electric one from something like a golf cart. It would be an upgrade from propeller and would still be electric. Also congrats on hitting over 5k subscribers.

    • @MoneyPitBoating

    Do you have to clear the same creeks every time you go on them?

    • @MoneyPitBoating
      @MoneyPitBoating  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, but in a different way. We're hoping that one day we can make enough progress that a storm will clear everything out, but it's wishful thinking.

  • @kaboom4679
    @kaboom4679 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    You need a solar powered wood chipper.

    • @MoneyPitBoating
      @MoneyPitBoating  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That would help a ton!

      Nice :)

    • @craigkirby9202
      @craigkirby9202 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Make it big enough and water proof, and you have a new propulsion unit as well. And an Ice breaker :)

    • @MoneyPitBoating
      @MoneyPitBoating  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That would be GREAT!

    what batteries did you get? how they holding up?

    • @MoneyPitBoating
      @MoneyPitBoating  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      We ended up getting Dakota Lithium 48v batteries. They are holding up really well after about 2 years. (This was old footage) Thanks for watching!

      To save time in the future, I'll just drop a "!" to mark my approval and general interest in your antics unless I have something to say. Google loves "!'s"

    • @craigkirby9202
