I forgot to mention I have a 1972 CAL 2-29. Total wgt is 8000lbs. Works great! Love IT. Only change would be to move motor on top of prop shaft with a direct belt transfer to shaft then move 6v batteries in front and lower for servicability.
I saw this idea mentioned here or there and I don't know why I didn't think of it. Right now I have 3 8v gold cart batteries and 2 12v deep cell marine batteries. Configuration recommended by the battery guy. Didn't work. Only lasts 20 minutes at full power then 12v batteries die off and the remaining 24v of 3 8v just does not cut it on a 48v motor.
After I take it out of the water this year I will design and build the shelves for the 2 rows of 4 batteries and bring it down in front of the engine compartment.
BUT I must say I have plenty of power! I was worried about that but it works great.
I do have pics, b-4 and after and in between.
