Week 13: Completion of our Project

After all these weeks of work we have reached a design we are satisfied with. We tested the boat using the full 24 volt battery system and cruised on low power down Tyler's canal. We had an average speed of approximately 2.1 mph though the distance. However, we have a conformable cruising speed of approximately 5  mph and have gotten it as fast as 7 mph as of now. The boat runs amazingly straight and needs only slight correction as we travel forward. We are now only modifying the rod to make the ride a bit smoother. We are also going to add a heat shield (photo below) to the coil to keep heat off of our back.

This project was pretty fun to do! We'd like to once again thank Mr. Martin for a great four years.
