Re: [Electric Boats] 33 foot solar electric hybrid.

I could not disagree more. Solar to keep the boat working off the hook for long periods of time. Electric to move the boat around for most trips, and backup power source when you want to take a day long trip. I will be doing mine with 2 KW of solar cells and two MasterVolt 10 KW silent-prop electric motors, I'll be keeping my current generator for long range powering. I would buy a Styler instead of the generator and silent-prop's if I could afford two. But I'll have to live with what I can afford. If I was buying new I would be giving Greenline serious thought.

The wonder of doing 90% of my boating with out noise and stink! Is what would draw me to this boat.

No offense but 20 miles at 6 K under electric.

700 at 10K under diesel.

Dump the solar and electric generator and use the VW diesel period.
Maybe solar to top house batteries but really it is a diesel low power
displacement hull with a token solar to qualify as green

Seat belt on,
