[Electric Boats] New To the forum and thinking of Repowering a 65 motor sailer

 

I purchased a 65ft Motor Sailor, Wellington Design, details can be found here

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatMergedDetails.jsp?boat_id=1797052&ybw=&units=Feet&currency=USD&access=Public&listing_id=60410&url=

I would like to re-power this craft with a diesel electric in-board system, I plan on taking the boat for extended cruising, I am budgeting 30k for this modification, I would like to do it for less but if it cost more I fully understand that this is a boatt = Bust Out Another Ten Thousand.

It is Powered by a 160hp Lehman turbo diesel engine presently (Running well), 15' beam, 68000lbs displacement (With the current power plant) it drafts at 6' with cruising gear, it has a Northern Lights 12.5kw generator Will upgrade if I have to. Hydraulic pto generator uninstaller but will be reinstalled, 1000 Gallon Diesel fuel tank, the solar panels are too old and worthless to contribute any notable power. plan on replacing them with better larger flat panels

The Boat does 10 knots on average and I would like a bit more if it wont matter too much. The boat has a walk around engine room, so space in not an object. The current prop in a 3 blade variable pitch that I will be keeping.

There is much I probable left out of this post, so please ask.

Thank you
