 +According to THOOSA's documentation, the following is true:
 +  * 5kW ~= 10-15HP (48V/125A @86% efficiency DC motor)
 +  * 6kW ~= 12-18HP (48V/140A @88%)
 +  * 7kW ~= 17-25HP (48V/160A @93%)
 +
 +=== From another source: ===
 +  * 1HP = 746 Watts
 +
 +If we go based on the assumption for specifying diesel engines for displacement boats, it's 2HP per Ton.  My boat is ~5.5 tons (11,000lbs).
 +  * ICE need: 11HP minimum, lets round up to 12HP
 +  * 12HP * 746W = 8952 = 9kW -- this seems to conflict with THOOSA
