Hello everyone, I am a new member, Marine mechanic of 15 years, and am new to the electric world. I have always been very interested in converting my 31 foot silverton boat that had twin 350 gas engines and alpha drives. I bought the boat with one engine bad, and have since gutted it all apart, and deciding what way to go. I have been reading a lot of your post, even though they don't pertain to me, Im just getting familiar with everything as much as I can. What I wanted to know, is could a guy use a 2 coupled together DC "Warp 9" electric motors, so 4 total, and opposed to having a huge battery bank, could I use a generator that would be running when cruising, and maybe not be able to cover all of the load, but at least extend my cruising range. I live in Washington, and we cruise the puget sound primarily, and have power at the dock at the marina, and can keep everything charged up, and also worth noting, we never cruise more than about an hour or two at a time, then find us hanging out tied up the majority of the time. Also have plenty of room for a couple solar panels also, but with owning a planing hull, would like to be able to reach speeds of say 30 knots, boat without the gas engines is about 7000 lbs. Thanks for any responses, Ryan.
