Re: [Electric Boats] Anyone going to Strictly Sail in Oakland this weekend?

I am really hoping torqeedo are there. I have just finished the conversion on the big boat and am thinking to myself. Hey myself you just spent sooooo much time and money converting from diesel to electrickery on the big boat and your going to bring gas inboard for the tenders outboard? That's kind of silly..... Then I remember the ride I took in a dingy at strictly sail last year. It had a torqeedo outboard and I was desperately in Want with it.

Hey Arby,
See you there. This is great, all these options for electric propulsion at the Sailboat Show! I'm guessing Torqeedo will be there also.
