Good idea Jerry, I think it would be very helpful.

Fred,

Your post got me to thinking about repowering my Ericson 32 along the same lines.  It occurred to me that wouldn't it be great to have a central website with all of the members builds together in one place for easy research.  I teach web design and would be willing to build and maintain a website with as many projects as we can find.  Photos, specifications, costs, sources, etc, on a range of boat sizes... challenges, successes, etc.  Having everything together in one place that is easy to navigate would be a real benefit to anyone wanting to begin a project of their own.

What does the group think?  I'm game.

Hi! I did a conversion of a Tartan 27, which we are very happy with. Ours has the Thunderstruck 8.5kw kit, which is now the 5kw kit, which is more accurate. i believe if you go to 72V that will may require stricter Coast Guard regulations, but I could be mistaken. Mine is 48V. We have about 3-4 hours of range using Trojan 8V, 190 amp batteries. You may find your range will be minimal using 75Amp batteries. A freind of mine did a conversion of a Bombay Clipper, I don't think a 31 though. He went with the Marine Propulsion kit, which was a very nice set-up. Good luck!
