Re: Anyone tried ...
I contacted this company to ask the question about buying this to attach to my Moses hydrofoil. They were very unhelpful.
From what I can gather it involves a lot of engineering to make the whole system of electrics and batteries work, and therefore it's not currently viable to simply attach it to an existing board. I feel like this is a gap in the market though if someone can make a motor/propeller and battery product that is cheap and can be retrofitted to any hydrofoil.
