Electric motor for 25' pontoon

[Tling]

Hello all, I have a 25" crest pontoon boat. We are new to boating. It has a 70 hp OB on it. We recently purchase a plot in the mountain in Pa. We are limit to a 10 hp electric motor for the lake. Is there set up for our boat. We are interested in just cursning the lake. Even if it goes 10 mph. I have seen set up that puts two 2 hp motor on each end ofthe tube. Can anybody point us to the right set up or manufactor? We would need sterring with it too.
Thanks Tom

Re: Electric motor for 25' pontoon

a 10 hp electric motor would be a pretty big electric motor. and would take some big batteries. i think you question was mis\phrased.

the only electric motor I have seen with enough power to move a 25' boat are from this company http://www.torqeedo.com/us/hn/products/cruise-r/product-description.html

They are mad expensive though especially if you want to use them with your remote steering. I'm sure theres other mfg's but this one seems to be the only one I see advertized often.

I more than likely did not explain correctly, I did search the German made one.
torgeedo.
Yes the battery on some set up would be 48vdc.
Seen other ones out there. I wait a little bit longer to see what else pops up in reply.
Thanks again.

Lenco Duel Digital Trolling are a pair of trolling motors which can be mounted either to the pontoons or to trim tabs. More information can be found on their web site www.lencomarine.com I have not yet tried them on our pontoon, we just purchased it and will be restoring it first, but will be looking to do so next season.

Good luck,
Mark
