Steve,
What is the approximate weight of your Duffy 20?
It would probably take a better volunteer than me to compile and organize this, but wouldn't it be great if we could somehow put together a document or web page that had a collection of "standard" boats, motors, and battery configurations?
The Catalina 30 and 22, the Erickson, the Duffy - these are all well known boats.
If we had a collection of motors / batteries, and the data for each - then for anyone new that was seriously looking at converting an existing boat, they'd have a MUCH better idea of what they were getting into.
For each boat, it might be nice to know:
Boat:
Weight:
LOA:
Motor:
Battery Bank:
Top speed:
Range at (top) or (cruising) speed: (specify speed that range is given for)

I have a Duffy 20 Edison model which I run with the Torqeedo 2.0 long shaft. I run 4 x 6v costco deep cycle batteries and can motor happily all day long at 5 knots. Its an extremely quiet setup and other duffys that cruise by with inboards, we can actually hear their motors hum! I had the bottom end replaced when I bought the boat the previous owner had it flooded. Quite expensive to repair but its like new and works really well. Makes for quite the trailerable duffy since its not a keel drive unit. Photos in folder labeled "Sparky"
