What is the conversion from Kw to HP?

1.34, 10 kW = 13.4 Hp.
I grew up thinking I-10 was the Mason Dixon line.

Hi! about seats - in such position weight center is maximally low and its convinient to steer a boat. aerodinamic is better and ride is more interesting. Im from eastern Europe-Latvia. 10 kW=14 HP
Ive modernized the boat a little and reached maximum speed 50 km h. There is a new video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OB-9LsRzWns
Information about boat is also here https://dreamfighter.pro/en/blog/
And please do not hesitate to ask me in case of questions

Great little ride! Looks like it runs good. I would definitely put a prop guard back on it. That’s a little hairy.

Re: My plywood homemade airboat with 10kw paramotor
It's actually easier to remember the inverse. 1 Hp = 0.746 kw. I just call it 3/4.
3/4 kW = 1 Hp.
I remember that a 3 kw Generator needs a motor bigger than 4 Hp and somehow that makes sense to me. We all gotta get by.

Thanks for your comment! That day I decided to check the maximum speed, so I removed the protection. It creates an extra speed. in other trips I put protection. safety above all.Muckduck wrote:Great little ride! Looks like it runs good. I would definitely put a prop guard back on it.

742 Watts = 1 HP so divide 10,000 by 742. Thats 13.47 HP
