Hi Eric, Sally and all,
I got an E-mail from Gene at Planet Blue Catamarans but still sparse on specs.
They are targeting $149k for basic version with many options for electronics, additional batteries, generators, solar/wind power, kites, amd custom interiors.
Hulls 4' wide, bridge deck just under 8' and demountable.
Gene says interior woodwork is nearly done and looks magnificent... semi-gloss teak, etc. Test drives can be scheduled off his dock in Beaufort, North Carolina in December.
It is more pricey than I hoped.

But in use, the voltage usually closer to 3.1V at any regular loads. With 16 cells, I could rate my battery pack as it's resting voltage of 53V, but I use 50V to be conservative. That choice means that I rate my capacity at 8kWh instead of 8.5kWh @ 53V/pack or 8.2kWh @ 3.2V/cell. So I wonder what the specifics are around their 25.9V rating. I know that it is just a nit-pick kind of thing, but since they got so specific...
