Roy, your boat is an excellent candidate, and you should be able to hold enough battery for at least 2 hours runtime.

I would caution you not to under-size the system. You are in normally benign waters, but you're also sailing a lee shore with a sometimes tricky harbor entrance.

I don't need four knots of speed although it's good to have the power option in case there are breakers at the harbor entrance to over come.
