The water was too blown out years ago in the Spring but I'm very much looking to spend weeks down there when I fully retire and living on a shallow draft sailboat. Thanks so much for the video and directions.
Still for sale?
I dont's understand why they never tell you about the make of the boat. The year it was build etc.. so many videos and it is never mentioned (?)
price and make of yacht .... you missed the 2 most important parts
Thanks for posting this
How is the little amazon 2200W doing, still alive?
Big part of the design of a product or gear, maybe most important is called "hardening", some manufacturers don't get it!
Man... I wish I could buy this boat. 😩
Thanks for posting. It looks great. I have been waiting to take my family out there. I think kids would love it.
Thanks for the video! Nice to see an honest video on the issues you had and how youa solved them. Our gas dinghy outboard is on it's last legs before needing a major overhaul. My wife really wants an electric so we've been looking to se what's out there (ePropulsion was at the top of the list before I watched this). Definitely looking at simpler options like the Elko and HangKai m9re closely now - especially fr9m a value point of view.
Even if they worked perfectly, the range is too limited. Idk I tried for months to convince myself of electric, I finally ended up with a tohatsu 5hppropane outboard and love it. Reliable and repairable.
I don't know how much you are spending on a haircut, but I highly suggest you up that by about $10.
You have to look at it not me lol venmo.com/u/Micah-Blake-3
If you don't mind, how much would someone pay a month for the mooring ball? Great video!
Last I knew it was under $400 a month. If the harbor is full you can anchor untill a spot opens up
I would think the harbor would be full
This is probably the better one, because the one where the motor is in the upper housing, it drives the prop through a shaft and gears which wil introduce a lot of energy loss *and* noise, which you don't want. For my use case I still enjoy the Epropulsion Spirit though!
I loved your video. Thanks for posting.
I’m aware that this already is one year old, there are a few things that I noticed: The condition of the motor.. You say that it is not used much, well, that doesn’t show, It looks like its used for years and years! Forgive me when it sounds a bit harsh, but you need to be al little aware that these things need some careful handling. I noticed corrosion and dents everywhere, as if a few gorilla’s were allowed to play with it😂 Well maybe its too easy for me to say it, as I am a guy that keeps electronics live 5 times longer than average. A good thing I noticed: after all this, it seems that not even one drop of water managed to get into the motor compartiment! It gives me the assurance that the claim ‘Maintenance free’ could even be true.. I still am convinced that the Navy 6.0 Evo is the motor for me. And no, I don’t have any connection with Epropulsion, nor have I any shares in that company😊
Well said.
I always wondered what was here...
❤Outstanding video, a lot and important information. I wish you the best. Belchertown - Massachusetts.
Hi my name is David and I am sure that the boat my parents buy new in 1977 in England is the hull original color was bright red?
🤜🤛 thanks. Is there a trail marker down to the cave? Edit: great filmography and in love with those kids 💜 I'm Sadie from Concord btw.
i hiked it with my brother, there is no sign that marks the caves, it took us a couple tries to find it. what we learned is you start on the blue trail and go up. then you get to a spot where the trail splits between the blue and orange trail. you want to take the orange trail because the caves are on the backside of the mountain
So, if you live on a boat for years, where is your ID from? How does that work?
Same crap like torqueedo. ESC under water and is prone to leak water destroying electronics. And not repair friendly.
I think that this video proves that the underwater part is waterproof.
@@davidmatthews3093my point is that expensive Electric outboards still lack of quality. On the torqeedo you either need every 3 years a $1.200 repair or doing a $700 service once a year. On epropulsion the technsupport lacks, and when i hear they charge $100-$150 for the extention cable (which he only needs for those properitary connectors) and the powerbutton is worn out after a few month then my opinion is that price / quality ratio is not ok. So i stick with cheap chinese motors as it is ok to buy a new one after a few years because they cost nothing. I am willing to pay $3000 for a small torqeedo or epropulsion but then they should last 10 years and spare parts like connectors or gaskets should be cheap and available. Compared to petrol outboards those electric outboards are more simple and should last longer, but it is the opposite.
Now all you have to do is teach him how to fix the anchor light and Reef the main!
Finally, a comparison with and without the case. I so appreciate this, thanks!
Top speed mph ?
Thanks for sharing.
Did you take a dingy from the keys to the dry tortugas?
No we took our sailing catamaran ua-cam.com/play/PLBeZoFftIyoVdD0EIHbwct7au2ePDx63O.html
@@4ofaKindhomestead That's cool. I didn't realize you have a UA-cam channel about your family living on a boat. I like the videos I watched so far and will check some more out soon. I came across your video when looking at videos of the Dry Tortugas. I grew up in Southern California and never saw the clear water like that in the ocean. We lived in Ohio now for a long time and I told my wife I'd love for us to drive to Florida where we can snorkel in clear water. My friends keep telling me I should take my wife on a vacation because we've been super busy the last 8 months starting a new church that I pastor. I'd love to check out the Dry Tortugas but I think that is out of our budget this year. Maybe next year.
@@videosforpublicspeakingcla1196 it's definitely worth it if you can make the time and budget. There is the Yankee freedom ferry that you can take out of key west everyday that goes there. That is the easiest way to see the dry Tortuga's . I would just check the weather for low winds before you go. ( 10mph or under) it will make the water much clearer
The new Evo versions of the epropulsion motors can also work as hydro generators when you are sailing, the Navy 6 (6kW/10hp) will generate 1 kW at 10 knots.
I am glad that they are making them with hydrogenation. It is a huge step for solar powered boat potentials
The motor will work without the handle (take it off) and use an epropulsion remote throttle/display instead? You could also use a big epropulsion remote battery to get much longer range. A Navy 3 (3kW 6hp) may have been better. Elco make up to 50hp motors if you want to plane, they use gas outboard housings/legs. Having the motor at the bottom of the leg causes a lot of drag when going at planing speeds which is probably why epropulsion only make motors up to 10hp/6kW? A 50hp electric motor needs big batteries!
i know way bypassing factory set up you just need esc from rc hobby n controller and use same battery in there just bypass computer (besure check how many voltages is in there full chager then u can find esc for it n all u need is 3 wires from motor n two wire to battery n plug to receiver to controller that all)
p̲r̲o̲m̲o̲s̲m̲
To me, customer service is everything. If customer service sucks, chances are their products sucks over the long haul and that is why I base my purchases on their customer service. If I can not speak with someone rapidly after I call, and not a computer, it tells me they don't want to speak to anyone about their problems with their products. Thanks for your time putting out your review. Peace, Mo
I totally get your point. Some of the best products we shouldn't need the customer service. ( In a perfect world) lol
@@4ofaKindhomestead The best products are the simplest. If something goes wrong, it is so simple that the customer can fix it and customer service is the best with those type of products. Lol
Thanks .Keep us posted on gas motor mpg speeds what dingy length type . 4 stroke Mercury 3.5 hp is reputed to be 0.3 USA gallon tank and full speed is 50 minutes run time per tank . Keep us posted on the 2 kw chines. E motor 12 foot flat boats used for fishing on 6 hp again small tank is repuditly 18 mph (~ 15 knots ) on plane takes 30 seconds to get on plane and gets ,~30 mpg USA gallon tank is 30 mins run full speed and 0.3 uSa gallon. I suspect a 10 hp on a inflatable ding 3.2 meter with 10 hp on 1q,1q,q~3/4 gas could get 1q maybe ~ 20 mpg at ~15 mph It seems illogical but speeds of 15 mph on a plane seems it can double the MPG with light weight single crew compared to more slow ,5 mph results Trimeran 25 ft cruiser type in calm seas on ten HP two stroke ~ 1/4 gas gets 30 mPG USA gallon speed not known so that ,I assume it's ~ 3 knots
HI ALLL AUSTRALIA HERE throw you a sub as yep the hole sailing around the world with kids has well there is so many but as one said before you look like ya live init not showroom shit very cool good luck maybe clean up the wires a bit looks like a fire hazard just kindly lol tite sails
We just signed a contract on the 370! Thanks for the review.
That's great. I'm sure you'll love it 🙂
Nice video
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it
God bless and be safe. 👍✌️🙏
Thank you
What tools did you use to take the motor at the bottom of the shaft off? Is it hard? How easy is it to loosen up the shaft from the motor itself? Need to loosen mine to put the black gasket back on straight.
If I remember right it mostly needed Alan wrenches and some screwdrivers
A boat that is a home.
We have a lot of good memories on it
So is she sold ?
Yes now off to the next adventure
Did you take a motor boat out there?
We took our sailboat out and stayed a few weeks
Sad to see the old girl go . Hope the new venture works out well for you and your family . Looking forward to future updates and the new direction that your lives are taking . Few small audio glitches at the beginning of the blog made some of the kids dialogue hard to hear , but overall a fitting send off . Keep them coming as quirky as you guys are ,and i have always found most of your vids to be quite entertaining and fun . The laid back style of the content is very endearing . Wish you all the best and keep them coming , cheers .
Thank you It is bitter sweet ending one chapter. I hope the next chapter is just as fun
We have the same Whaly 370 and love it dearly :-).
Is the 8 HP a plastic or aluminum prop? I started looking around at the Asian outboards a while back. The gas versions of the Hangkai motors scared me away because of the difficulty with finding replacement parts. Even the impellers were a month lead time for the slow boat to send them at a reasonable price. The electric version, though, doesn't seem like it would have any of those issues. That may also be better now that some companies have US warehouses. Thank you for the review. In my mind I imagined you having two of the Tesla packs in series to make this run. :-)
I did think about using a couple Tesla batteries to really make it fly. The prop is plastic but it actually came with a second prop. I was surprised that it came with an extra one.
Dude I have the hangkai, and 4 100AH lead batteries .... about 6.5 hrs at 5 hp
Have you checked out Stealth electric outboards? Similar to Elco, but seems like better quality.
I've heard of them but haven't seen them in person before
seam or do you know they are?
Aquamot is Good 👍
Back to the “drawing board” ePropulsion et al…come back with an actual electric motor that has decent range, power, and battery life. And this time, make it durable and affordable please!
Gr8 Video Guys... how Kool were those squid lol
Thanks, We were so excited about the squid. First time we saw so many together
Happy New Year to you all, very cool Video Guys, loved the timed exposure shots a night!!!! Looking forward to watching new adventures. Ned
