As a drive for SEATEC Aerotend 310 - unbeatable
I use the Spirit to power the aforementioned inflatable boat. The system—boat and motor—fits comfortably in a small car, is easy to assemble and disassemble, clean, and has sufficient battery capacity. The thrust is sufficient, but could be better. (More powerful models have become affordable these days.) I plan to purchase an additional (generic 48V LiFEPO4) battery to increase the range and to be able to charge it with a portable PV panel. Overall, after two years of use, I'm very satisfied with the motor.

Fantastic switch from a gas outboard
You wont believe how much of a leap forward this motor is, compared to a gas outboard. However, keep in mind that it can only replace a 3-4 hp gas engine. It cannot compete with anything more powerful.

- it is easy to handle it is not that light, but the weight comes in two light parts motor and battery. Consequently, I got rid of the crane I was using to put the gas engine on the dinghy.
- it is easy to start no more pulling cord and praying it will start
- no more gas canister(s) on the boat
- silent

Just great
I have a dinghy with 2.60 m. When the sea is calm you drive with 80-100 watts and have a power reserve of approx. 7 hours. at half load you still drive 3 hours.
Charge the battery with the on-board network.
Installation on dinghy very easy, low weight.
No problems with carburetor, Impella etc.
