[Electric Boats] Planning electric inboard install

 

Hello everyone,

I just joined this group to get some more knowledge before attempting an electric inboard conversion on my 1976 Catalina 27.

Our old atomic 4 needs more work then I want to do to it and we've never been happy about having a gas powered inboard anyway.

I've been thinking about this kit:  http://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/sevcon-brushless-sailboat-kit-8.5kw.html

I would prefer 4x 24v agm batteries and 2 more flooded 12v to expand my house bank and use as a backup.

Does this kit seem like a good group of parts, or should I consider others? I have access to a welder for making an engine mount and I work in the marine trade, so I'm confident that I can do the work myself (in fact I'd prefer to).

Any input here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your replies.

-Adam
