[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-250 progress

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Phillipe,

Nice work! For a K250 I think you're good with two 55 lb motors, given the
limited battery capacity. Of course more power is good, but if you went to
the big motors you would need to increase the battery bank as well. You
will find that with the standard K250 battery bank and two 55s, the motors
are for maneuvering rather than for transits, but they will do a perfectly
good job of maneuvering - transits will depend on a tow boat.

Best,
Alec
