You are right, I was thinking of an all electric drive rather than a
hybrid. With a gen set as a back up to charge the batteries. It would
probably take a pretty hefty battery bank & 2 large electric motors to
safely power the houseboat. Top speed isn't important. A range of 3-4
hours at 8-10 knots would be adequate. Do you think the technology is there
now?
