Can u help me out to build a pod i am from india to get a pod is not easy it has to be imported its quite expensive i can make it if i can get measurements
Some questions Sir: What is the prime reason for this....I read the outdrives consume WAY less gas, is that true? What motor was in that before and what is the price of such a 300hp outboard. And lastly, could this be done to some speedboat like a Formula SR-1 and would it still lean as crazy in the curve? Thanks for your time :)
The boat had a Volvo 300 hp gas engine with duoprop. I have found that 4 stroke outboards and stern drives have similar fuel economy. A 300 hp Mercury outboard is about $34,000 Canadian. I'm sure you could do this to a Formula and it should lean similarly.
Given that electric outboards are less expensive and easier to refit than inboard motors AND allows the bay to be used for batteries I expect EV versions of this to become VERY popular.
That's not true, at all. Just the BATTERY setup alone for a 50hp electric outboard equivalent is in excess of $20,000. Just batteries. No motor or controls. You also can't run electric outboards full throttle for more than an hour before they need to be recharged. Then, there's the weight. The battery setup I just described is 800 pounds. Plus you need space to put it, components and all. I'm not hating. These are just facts. There's a space for electric outboards in the small boat fishing world or maybe the leisure pontoon ride world. However, until the battery technology gets better, the grid can handle the increased usage, and it is all wayyyy cheaper, internal combustion powered boats will continue to reign supreme.
Terrific work, and very good and clear explanation.
Fabulous work ❤
first of all thanks for all info you are giving
i have a question can you tell how much you extend the outboard bracket pls?
This pod is 32" long.

How long is the bracket?
32"
Very nice
What's the cost just for the transom and bracket work excluding the engine and rigging?
Hi Mike, it would be about $8,000 CAD to fill in the hole, reinforce the transom and install motor pod.
Nice

You skipped over the work
Where is dealer please thanks
