What is the maximum boat weight the Spirit 2 can handle?
Back to FAQsThe ePropulsion Spirit 2 is best suited for boats with a total displacement (vessel + passengers + gear) of up to approximately 500kg to 750kg. Within this range, it will provide confident performance at cruising speeds with reserve power available via Sport Mode.
Above 750kg the motor will still function but performance—particularly top speed and the ability to make headway against current or wind—will be reduced. That said, it is not uncommon to be able to easily reach 4-5 knots on a boat weighing 1,500kg (3,300lbs). There are several factors that affect the speed and range you can achieve.
For heavier boats, ePropulsion’s Navy 6.0 Evo (9.9 HP equivalent) is a more appropriate choice.
