I have a Cascade 29 that is currently powered with a 12 Farryman, single cylynder (very annoying). With the 33 gallon fuel tank and the engine/trans assembly gone I would have a tremendous amout of room for banks/motor/controller.

I could easily add wind/solar. No off-shore work. No extended motoring periods (Columbia river) Also I'm not sure how long a typical golf cart batt bank lasts. The boat is easily run up to hull speed with the farryman and a 12x 8, dbl bladed prop (could probably fit 13").
