Description
Summary:	This research is to design and build a catamaran to be a green power ship, equipped with a brush less DC motor as its power, and installed with an integrated electric power system. This catamaran is mainly used in a reservoir, lakes, fresh water rivers, and other waters. In our research, we adopted a catamaran, integrating a user interface to testify the design theory and of catamarans and the stability of its full scale. The experiment in this research suggests that metacentric height of a catamaran is higher than that of a mono hull boat. Therefore, the hull construction which can remain balanced easily and prevent the waves surge on the deck, can be recognized as stiff boats.
