We have the 8HP 48V Hangkai, Been running it for 2 yrs now in electric only clubs No issues at all. The one change we made was switching to Lithium batteries. We usually make long runs and Lead acid were good for half a day before losing power, Now we can run full power all day, No worries... .. Love ours

You and your wife fishing, you are living the dream brother!

I use trolling motors to eliminate exhaust smell and noise. I bet twin 86 pound trolling motors would be quieter than this motor, and no heating issues. Also redundancy in case one fails.

So how do you like it now that you've had it for a while? Had it stood the test of time?

Best review I've ever seen hands down.

The 10hp electric HANGKAI model is listed as 60V 38A(rated current) = 2280w (rated as 2.2KW)

seen a couple of these out there in the bayou, most noticeable was the 300 pounds of batteries needed for a four hour runtime,they also seemed really loud, and the benefit of using a decent trolling motor to sneak up on fish is lost, some might be okay with the tradeoffs

Being from Georgia myself, I had to see what you said about it. I've been looking at these things for some time now. They ain't cheap!!! But I have pondered the thought of getting one on a new boat build. No matter what you find they all seem to make noise. This one seems pretty good. That set up would be great here in the Ozarks. 4 batteries is some weight for sure but you got to have it, I agree as well. Glad I checked it out!!! That's something I'm having to consider as well. I like your channel. You're information on this one really helped me determine the true pros and cons. Thanks for sharing

Cool. Thanks for sharing. The energy density of gas (and diesel) is crazy high. I'm sure battery technology will improve and there will be some new motor and even boat designs, but gas can't be beat right now.

This next generation of boat motors is going to be a game changer.

Great review- appreciate it! Was surprised how loud it is

sounds like a cheaper brushed motor rather than brushless my minkota 30 30 pushes near 5mph so prop quality probably is a thing I'd mid mount your batteries for better weight distribution so the hull isn't trying to climb uphill the water wasting your speed with up force unless you're getting a higher HP electric to get more paddle power ,shoot id just strap 8 to 6 regular trolling motors back there with modified props for best performance and maybe get her to plane but yeah you're gonna need more batteries more powah deh better maybe throw some cheap solar panels on the deck to float charge the batteries so when not moving or just fishing at anchor your at least getting a bit of charge or at least covering the battery drain of fish finder can always wire in paralell to charge of a 12v smart car charger overnight then swap to om series mode for the faster prop speeds but less range🏻‍️ good luck fishing out there glad you're trying to save the environment with electromagnetic radiation pulses ️

I get 6.2mph on my 12ft semi with a 5hp suzuki gas motor. So the power comparison seems fair
