Re: [Electric Boats] 28000Lb conversion

Hi Pitt,

I think it's quite possible, I also belong to the LTYC, I have a 37 Island Trader at 22,000 lbs. that will be going Hybrid Electric in the near future, this will be my second sailboat conversion, the other being a 30 ft. 12,000 boat. I'm using a 48 volt system in each, we'll stay in touch...

Hi everyone,

I stumbled onto this site and am learning too much. My brain feels like scrambled eggs.

I have a 28000 Lbs full displacement ketch. I am a sailer and always have time for the doldrums.

I would like to know if anyone here has ever attempted such a conversion and or does anyone have advice that might help.

I might be able to get the motor, controller and 72v charger from a lagoon 420. I was thinking a 7kva gen set. I need power for docking anchoring and emergencies .

Am I kidding myself?
