I also have a conversion project in the works with Electroprop to replace the A4 (w/V-drive) on my C&C 33-1 with a Racer model. The pic shows 3 of the 4 NorthStar 210FT Blue+ AGM batteries. The fourth is located aft, on a shelf that held the waterlift muffler. I'll have to build a transverse beam to mount the motor and it will protrude about a foot into the cabin. It's a compromise that I made very early on. V-drive conversions might seem more suited for a belt and pulley arrangement anchored on the engine stringers but I like the having (most of) the batteries where the engine once was. Right now I'm awaiting the other components from Electroprop.
