Can you please clarify "some money?" How much for one of the drop in conversion units with appropriate battery power and charging needs?

Patrick,
I did an electric conversion a couple years ago to a Pacemaker 266 powerboat. I am happy to share my experience with you and give you a base line of data from sea trials. A place to start from anyway.
My boat conversion to electric was a single screw inboard. She was set up with 2 battery packs of Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries; I could cruise a couple of hours on a re-charge Do you have twin inboards or I/O's? If you have inboards with shafts, shaft seals, props, struts, etc you are ahead of the game. If you are starting from I/O's you might consider twin electric outboards. Just my professional opinion. There are several good drop in electric conversions units out there. Thoosa from Asmo Marine and Quiet Torque units from Electric Yacht seem to be the front runners. Be ready to spend some money on battery power and recharging.

Hello, my name is Patrick and I am new to the group.. My boat, a 1980 288 Cruisers Yacht VillaVee w/ Twin 454's... so you feel my pain! I have been trying find an example of a successful conversion for this type/size of vessel. So my initial question: Is there any examples of this type of conversion that someone might be aware of? I am not looking for specs or details at this point, just some insight to this application... Thank you, pma
