Claude,
In their old catalog, Torqeedo used the Dragon as an example for one of their outboard's performance . As I recall, their 800 watt unit pushed it along at hull speed. One of their 1 or 2 kw units and a couple of group 31agm's should do nicely without messing up the hull. You could do this all for less than $3k including a charger and outboard bracket. The Dragon is such a beautiful daysailer. Enjoy.
I have a Torqeedo 801L on my Cape Dory Typhoon, 2500 lbs, for the past 3 years and it gets me back from the middle of the Chesapeake when the wind dies.

The Dragons that I know are a sleek narrow boat built for racing.Beautiful boat but I have only ever seen one with any kind of power and that was a 12 volt trolling motor that was only put on to leave and enter the marina..If we are talking about the same boat I do not know where you would put batteries..You would need a lot of modification to fit a shaft through the hull.

As I am bringing back to life a 1947 Dragon 30 , I will add electric propulsion. Going through hull with brushless technology. Anyboby out there has done that on a Dragon?
