Whaly 210 / 270 with Torqeedo 1003

[Aeolus]

Has anyone tried this combination of dinghy and electric outboard? How well do they work together?

Alternatively, has anyone on the south coast (Solent and eastwards) got a Whaly dinghy who would be interested in letting me try it out with a torqeedo?

I can only state experience of a heavy 3m rib where it's worked fine for the last 5 years. Did take 30 percent of charge each way on a choppy windy 3/4 mile from anchored boat to harbour but normally takes about 10 percent each way for longish rides. It took about 2 hours to put 45% back in again when we got to the main boat which is the only time in 3 years we have ever had any potential worries with range. Obviously it doesn't plane.
