So a run time with stops of say 3 1/2 hours, then needs re charging.........how long to charge it? Article also says it is a 100 seater, surely not the one in the photo, they will be crammed in worse than a mini bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfill Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Replace the canvas roof with photo voltaic panels. 13 years ago a solar powered (not solar assisted) boat crossed the Atlantic and since then there has been huge developments in solar panels and batteries. With the amount of sun in Thailand, a solar assisted boat (solar + battery) would increase that 60 mile range considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
