Hi Yona and Shay,
You're definitely on to the right idea, going electric! I converted and went electric with my Bristol 32 sailboat a few years ago and it was honestly the best thing I ever did! There's lots of info and advice on this forum. If you don't always get a response, it's because we're all having too much fun actually being on our boats!
Good luck with your project and keep us posted!
Cheers,
-Greg
