Hi Liz,
Adding to James' list, Hunter has an electric option for their 27 footer, http://www.marlow-hunter.com/Models2011/27/27Index2011.html
I do not know anything about it other than what I have read but the Hunter 27e might be a good "turn key" E-boat.

I don't even know how to sail. I have crewed on power boats though, so I know a little about them. My question is, is there such a thing as a fully electric, or a diesel hybrid that one can buy, all ready to go? I drooled over this boat for quite a while - http://dsehybrid.com/ - but it looks like it is no longer offered, so either the market, or existing technology, or something wasn't ready yet. Is an electric power boat, with solar or shore power to recharge the batteries possible today? That one could spend some weeks on putting up and down the ICW, maybe even heading around the Caribbean. Retirement is a few years off yet, but that's my dream. I wouldn't need much power, although I would need enough to get out of the way, or get somewhere relatively safe in case of storms.
