Hi Larry,
It looks like the Fiberform 28 is a samll cabin cruiser.
The short answer is that plug-in electric that costs the same as your repower will deliver greatly reduced performance and severely reduced range. You could consider a hybrid, but it will drive the cost higher. For a power boat, the math just doesn't work out yet. Check back in a decade and maybe the echnology will have advanced enough to consider it, but it will probably still be much more expensive than ICE for similar performance.
Fair winds,

She has been out of the water for 15 years (previous owner managed to sink her while removing the port fuel tank). I was considering doing a repower with upgraded components, but since I need to totally refit her anyway, I am thinking electric. First question: where to start? Second question: is it worth doing it? thanks!! Larry Edgin, Tacoma, Wa.
