Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Bermuda 30 conversion

 

Eric,

I'll keep that in mind, but it's my friend's boat.

My boat is a 1972 Pearson 30. The P30 has an encapsulated, fin keel and a bilge that is about 6" deep at it's deepest. The only places I can put things on my boat is where the engine and tank are located. Do to this, and some other issues I don't want to get into right now, I may never do this conversion in my boat.
