Looking for the electric motors as the main power of a boat

[elyc]

Dear Sirs,<br /><br />I get an order of 20 electric pleasent boats in China. The hulls are made in China,<br /><br />nearly finished. In Vancouver Boat Show, I find Minn Kota transom / hand.<br /><br />As the main thrust power , can I choice Minn Kota? These boats are 20' long,<br /><br />5' wide. The weight is about 4000 Ibs ( included passengers )<br /><br />If I choice Minn Kota Maxxum74, how fast for the boat speed in a river?<br /><br />How much is the shipping charge from your warehouse to Xingang Tianjin China?<br /><br />Best rgards<br /><br />Larry<br /><br />elycelyc@yahoo.ca

I dont know of even a 36volt trolling motor that will push a 4000# boat. That is alot of boat, unless there is some other kind of Minn Kota that I am not aware of, you will probably need a gas engine.
