Just on a whim I went searching for his 65000 dollar cat in good condition ie floats. And I was able to find one. If he removes the fly bridge and the crappy RV a/c, he would have about 15 by 30 feet for solar cells, it being aluminum it is surprisingly light 7500 pounds, it might make a pretty decent electric power boat.
Hey Bill,
I would not worry about an array that follows the sun. Consider that
response time would have to be as fast as any wave or other disturbance.
The gain would be lost with constant correction.
I think most cats used for engines are replaced till the hulls are no
longer sea worthy on such craft. Hope you find one.
