Just got back from Test #1!!

Ran 1 3/4 miles up river at 3/4~full power which was 4 MPH cruise 5 MPH max with 2 adults + batteries.
Ran back to dock, downriver, 1/2 ~3/4 power which was 5 mph cruise and 9 mph MAX (full throttle test).

On return batteries are 12.7 volts each and 50.7 volts full pack.
Electrically loaded at return full pack was 48.1 volts.
Batteries are charging on 20 amp 24 volt charger now, as soon as I can find my connector I'll have a 48 Volt 20 amp charger for normal use.
Unfortunately. I have no Idea where my kill-a-watt is.

Still no Pics, but Youtube video uploading now.

Subjective opinions, Quieter than my 3.5 hp gasoline, but not dramatically, I really need to get the cover repaired / mounted.
Easiest motor ever to dock with, instant throttle response.
I really really need a steering setup, grabbing the handle sucks to steer.
