I really like the idea of going simple. In fact, I was looking at an endura 55. What do you find you have to fix on them?
Here's a crazy idea. Anybody here think about trying to rig up a troller to run on 110 volt. I figure the motor from a weed eater would be about right.
The enduras have a simple switch set-up that costs <$20 (used to anyway) 6 screws, 5 spade cliped wires, replace and you're back in business; usually. If not, it's the brushes in the motor head. A little more involved, but still pretty simple and cheap.
The Maxxums....all solid state. Three circuit boards = $$$$ [:@]
As far as 110V goes, I think a lot of people have had that idea. If you could make one, Bowfishers would buy every one. They already have generators, no converters to worry about, no batteries, less weight and you should be able to get a bunch of power/thrust out of one. Let me know when you're ready to try out your prototype on the CIRFCU.
