[Electric Boats] Comments from the group please 70 ft catamaran

 

The hulls are now being constructed, this vessel WILL be powered by electric motors. I will be using the largest (235 w) power per sq ft solar panels I can find. The rest of the system has not been specd yet, but I have a lot of research (3 years). Comments please on components and or complete systems. I am not going to buy a retail packaged system due to cost. Recommendations for batteries, motor type, controllers, voltages of the system, generator, regeneration, drive type, caveats, experiences.
I expect a minimum of a 30 HP drive for each side, probably closer to 50. Large prop so drive pod is not possible.
Thankyou so much. A brief response is sufficient if you don't have time to comment.
