Welcome Bob:
Eric has mentioned the vendors most of us are familiar with. I installed a Thoosa 9000 system in my 30 foot 8 ton boat six years ago that has been virtually problem free. Installed most of it myself. A chronicle of the install starts with this post on my blog:

I use solar, wind and a Honda 2000 generator for charging (boat is on a mooring or at anchor most of the time). You've already done the hard part which is removing the engine. Good luck with your research on finding a system for your boat.

Subject: [Electric Boats] Hello!
Hello everyone,
I am a new member of this group and just wanted to tell you a little about myself. I hope to meet many fellow electric enthusiasts here. I also hope to gain more knowledge about electric setups. I have a Newport 30 sailboat that I have just pulled the motor out of and am looking over possible electric replacements. I have seen a few different systems that are sold on ebay and have been on a few out here in SF Bay. There doesn't seem to be an end to the number of electric vendors out there. I wanted to know if someone could steer me toward the top 5 so that I could focus my investigations in that direction. I am looking for a electric system that is 48v and about 7.5kw or better. By no means am I savvy in electronic motor setups. I do have a little experience with solar panels, controllers and batteries. I put together a little system a few years back for a home out in the mountains. It worked well. We were able to power a refridgerator, house lights and an entertainment system. We also had a honda generator for those days that the sun wouldn't come out. In any case thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Rob
