[Electric Boats] Hybrid w/Honda 2000

 

Hi,


I am looking at a thunderstruck 5kW kit and adding on a Honda 2000 generator to increase range for times when the wind is gone (like up here in the PNW in the summer!).


My boat is a 6000# wooden sailboat with an LOA of 25, and an LWL of about 21-22ft.

What are peoples' experiences with such a setup.   What is their resulting cruising speed

when they are running on the generator for an extended time?    Strictly from calculations I am estimating I could run at about 2.3 kts.   Does this sound right?

Any advice, experience, good stories, etc. are appreciated!

regards, peter
