I was considering using a golf cart
motor along with some others I found in surplus catalogues but most of
them are quite high RPM motors and have short splined shafts. I didn't
want to use a gear reducer and 4000 RPM is to fast for a prop.
You can slow them down with a speed controller but
by doing so you reduce the output horsepower. If you take a 4 HP
motor @ 4000 RPM and limit it to 2000 RPM, you only have 2 HP of
usable power.

In all honesty,,,the motor from a golf cart is probably the best
ticket. It comes with controls and is 24 or 36 volts. Ample power
new off the shelf. Digital controls and off you go. Dave from
