Tanzer 16 -- The perfect outboard for small sailboats--almost --June 5, 2015 I am not generally a covetous person. But I have to admit. I want one of these fancy lithium ion battery outboards. Saw it in person last night for the first time. There was almost no wind. Yet a Lido 14 came screaming out of the marina throwing a bow wave and a wake. Clearly it had reached hull speed and then some.
No smoke. No noise. Just the slap of water. Yeah he had it. This outboard.
It only weighs 20 pounds. It makes no noise. There is no lead acid battery knocking around in the bilge. It has a long shaft. Could only find one negative.
It costs two thou.
