4knots @ 8 hours is going to be in the neighborhood of 320AH - so you'd need something like 4-500AH in storage - you won't fit that on your boat in either weight or volume (unless you are rich and go with lithium)
So - best bet is design for your shorter trips, and get a generator (Honda EUx000 or similar mounted on deck) and start it well before you think you need to.

...As for sailing kits, I am looking foward to hear feedback from the group. I am looking for a system that will replace my 25 HP engine on my Catalina 30 MKII, and that will allow me to motor at 4 knots for up to 8 hours. I currently have on 80W 12v solar panel, but I will adding three more once I install the engine. I live in Florida.
