Re: [Electric Boats] pulling the plug...

Dear Kristine.

If you have not yet pulled the plug, let me know. We can do power boats up to 50 feet and beyond.

Typically they are new boat conversions because the components can cost over $100,000 and they are working on 400 volts. Its a different ball game because the power levels are huge, up to 300 KW. Nevertheless it can be done. Smaller power boats are more reasonable but also need a generator. Most power boaters, once they hear the price of a conversion, stick with diesel, but then there are the exceptions.

About a week ago I made a post asking a number of questions about setting up a system on a power boat.... And just like with most sail boaters no one said a thing. Not even a "Hey nice idea" or "Gee that's lame." Over the years of working on fishing boats and owning a power boat, sail boaters show us the finger... TILL they need help in a hurry.

I understand this group is made up of mostly sail boaters and I see you are no different than the ones I have had to deal with out on the water.

I use to work at Marine Service Center in Seattle Wa for a number of years and any boat I worked on I gave the same level of detail to each one to make sure all repairs I did were done right. I didn't care if they were a sail boat or a power boat things had to be done right.

So I see no need to stick around this group. Later.
