Shockwave is a 30 ft Colombia displacing 10,500 lbs plus
Pulled the Palmer C60 22 hp motor (have spare parts new head and head gasket, water pump rebuilt . carb alternator started excellent rest is in good serviceable condition except for block. sell at cost )
Was given golf cart with 36 v Charger (traded cart, except charger for electrical advice
bought a golf cart with a 11 hp DC motor 48V . $100.00 (sold extra parts for $50.00 plus $200.00 of labor +++++)
36Volt charger for sale (for lead acid) $200.00
Stabalized one side of rear end $10.00
other side goes directy to drive shaft with a lovejoy ??sp connector $55.00 parts and machine work
will use golf cart controller
bought 48 volt lithium set of batteries and 110 charger & 220 charger List $5.000 (six months old My cost $2,300 including shipping
Batteries and charging system $2,300.00
Misc cost including motor $ 115.00
______________________________________
total so far $2,415.00 plus my neighbors injanuity and time.
Could have used 3 12v Wallmart batteries and and my total cost to date would have been $465.00 for a 36 v system which would have given me about 75% power for 1 hr for 2 to 4 years
vs
100% power for 1 1/2 hours for 8 to 10 years.
A little bit of extra power cost big bucks
I am 71 y/o so figured out a method of financing my batteries after reading an article in Money Magazine.
I Live in a moderate part of town where garage sales are popular.
My clean up the yard and garage sale has neted $2.332.00 in the past 5 days. Had five claassic cars and an airplane which I traded for the SHOCKWAVE" plus a 21 ft. Mcgregor which was sold doring my clean up sale.
My wife and neighbors or estatic about the clean up sales success so far.
Traded one of my classic cars for a one ton 89 chevy pick-up to pull my 6 ton plus boat SHOCKWAVE
LOOKING FOR A PROPELLER WITH SHAFT AND NEEDED EXTRA PARTS TO PUT IN MY 17 FT FLAT BOTTOM BOAT.
Will use battery system from SHOCKWAVE to furnish power so cost should be nominal,
CONSIDERING building a 1938 Mecedes Maurlaine car with 48 v power.
Your comments and suggestion will be given careful consideration.

Hello Richard!
Just Joined the group and am looking for direction to power a 30ft Redwing. I am looking at the Thunderstruck Sail Boat Kit withthe Gear reduction. I only need to get about an hour under power at most in poor conditions. In you opinion is this a good thought? Would you mind sharing some photos of your conversion?
All the best!
