Today, at Lake Alice, we had an unexpected visitor. During the testing of our second hull (see video below), a baby alligator stopped by to say hello.
The new hull is propelled by a student designed hubless propeller. To turn the propeller, we are using a 1200 watt brushless motor. Our second hull performed well with a top speed of 12.5 mph. However, after running it full speed for 5 minutes, we experienced an electrical failure in the port thruster. The failure caused us to place the boat on hold until next week.
