Hi mail4pn (?)
Lots of good info on your site. So, the boat that you want to power with an electic/diesel hybrid drive is 100' long, 79'LWL, 28' beam, 11.5' draft with a full keel (no foil) and a displacement of 540,000 lbs.
That's a big boat. With some basic estimates, you'll probably want an electric motor with at least a 300hp (225kW) continuous rating. I don't think that anyone here has dealt with systems that big.
Good luck with your build.
Fair winds,
Eric

Can be seen on http://www.kastenmarine.com/30m_phinisi.htm. My enquiries so far cover the diesel/electric solution, but with enormous generators on board. (As usual on bigger commercial boats)
