Robert,
Do you have a source for Nickel-Iron batteries? And if so what is the price per AH? I can get 100AH LiFePo4 for a cost of $120 that makes the cost per AH $1.20, But at a reasonably cheaper price I would be interested in Nickel-Iron. They are heavier and take more care and feeding: Need to be watered. But they do last forever and like to be used. Lasting forever is a good selling point!
I was also eyeing the AC 50, have you done any research into mounting, Do they require a trust baring.

Hi Andreas
Consider the AC 50 at http://www.thunderstruck-ev. I think that it is large enough to push your boat and when under sail could potentialy regenerate your battery pack (wich will need to be a big one). I am looking at the AC 50 for my 19-ton when loaded lug rig schooner that I am building. If I can come up with the funds, I am looking at NiFe batteries which will add to my ballast and be very durable.com/AC_drive_ performance. htm.
