Re: [Electric Boats] Hybrid drive

 

Hi Rick,

I guess that we should assume that when you said "I already did a 30 ft Hunter using the above..." that you're only taking about the solar panels. Of course if you successfully implemented "micro generation, caterpillar propulsion?? peizo electric generation" systems, then we would love to hear about them.
