Commence a design

[ypapakalodoukas]

Dear efoilers,

I am new in business and would like to build an efoil. Could you please advise me total cost of an average design?
As I said, I am a starter and i do not know where to start.
I red some of your correspondences which look like an abyss to me.
Is any list of materials to start with?
That’s all fow now.

Thanks a lot!

You can find all files and the BOM of the (I guess) most popular build here. It is pacificmeister’s build.
If you remove duplicate parts from the BOM and add a summation you are at around 1,500$. That is excluding a board, 3D printer or cost for ordered 3D printed parts, and a large enough battery (battery alone can be 500-800$).
So overall you will be at something between 1,500 and 2,500 depending on the design and parts you choose, there are many different ways.

Is it worthing to spend usd 2000 or buy a chinese one with usd 2500?

I am not aware of any ready made chinese electric hydrofoils, can you give a link? Also I don’t think you can buy one for 2500$ with good quality. eFoils on the market are more around 10,000$, Takuma just teased one that will be 6,000$ which is really “cheap” for an eFoil.
