Is the electric drive still available, and if so how much? Is there anyone on the site that could help me determine how it would perform in my Columbia 8.7 that currently has an ailing/aging Atomic 4?
Thanks

Now we are having a baby and the boat is being put on the back burner for a couple years. If there is anyone from the electricboats group interested, I'll give them first crack at it, before I put it on ebay or part it out. Here is a link to some pics.

I may consider selling the electric motor separate if anyone is interested. It's similar to the Solid Nav system, with a 48volt Mars brushless, Sevcon Millpac controller, belt driven power transmission 4 group 24 batteries and a Procharge 4 bank charger. If anyone in the San Francisco Bay area is interested, let me know. I'd like to sell it before I pull it out of the boat. It's a sad day when i have to put an outboard on an electric boat to sell it.
