David,
I googled that boat. Looks like a cool design. What does it currently have for power, and what are your speed and range requirements? Switching to electric works well for many sailboats and efficient displacement hulls with modest range requirements. There are systems on the market that would move your hull at reasonable displacement speeds, but battery range is always a limitation. You might be a good candidate for a hybrid system, using a moderate size diesel genset to provide house power and charge your propulsion batteries.
