John,
We would all be interested in your results of your power cruiser conversion. Perhaps you can tell us the following:
1. What was the capacity of the battery banks?
2. How fast was cruise during "cruise a couple of hours on a re-charge"?
3. What was your power load for cruise (watts or amps and volts)?
So far, I haven't heard of any other successful power cruiser conversions.
Fair winds (or calm seas),
