> Does no one do the math anymore?
Dennis,
The member identified himself as new and clearly has no idea what math to do. I'm in the same boat (pun intended :) ) and comments like this do little to educate anyone... it would be great if you could explain how to work out these numbers, or link to information on the topic.
Regards,
Rob

I would like to remove the engine, gas tank etc. and replace with simular performing electric drive system connected to the Alpha 1 outdrive. Any one out there done this? What system will give me performance, ability to ski plus about 3-5 hours cruising at a reasonable install cost? I know this is a broad question with tight parameters. I'm hoping to learn from other's experience and knowledge. I can spend $4k-$8k. Help please.
