Re: [Electric Boats] Ditching electric

 

Rob,
I believe, that this forum could function as a map for people, to decide, if going electric is for them.
Electric propulsion is for some applications and some people a great idea, for others a sure road to frustration.
It helps if you're the kind of sailor, who takes pride in sailing the max and minimal usage of the auxiliary.
It helps if you start by choosing, the right hull.
It helps, if you're rich.
It helps, if you're not electrically challenged
It helps, to have a good location
Etc.
So it is limited to a niche, where most/all conditions are right.
But that niche is slowly growing in size and there is a huge field for experiment and development.
If somebody, with a more administrative mind than mine, would create and update this status quo map of boat propulsion with different colors for applications between very satisfactory and totally wacky, such would be a useful tool for new members. 
My 2 cents

That is the actual Classic Boat title to the article on the repowering of Siandra..
I want , as much as anyone on this forum , to see electric boating succeed . I want to be an active part of it.
But how much damage do well written articles like this do ?.
Dare I say it , how much damage does some of the "advise"given on this forum do , if followed through ?.
We really need to get "fair dinkum" , if we are to be taken seriously.
Thats all I've got to say.
Regards Rob J.
