Hello Group,


I purchased a new (to me) larger boat and am selling my Compac 23 sailboat, which is located in NW Florida.  


This is a unique boat in that I replaced the original concrete ballast in the keel cavity with a combination of lead and (8) grp 31 AGM batteries set up into two banks of 24V.  The original work was done in 2007, and I replaced the batteries in 2011, running a Torqeedo Cruise 2 outboard for about 12 hours (at 2.6 Knots) continuously if needed.  The Torqeedo quit right after the 3-year warranty expired (don't get me started on this) and I since have reverted back to the original gas engine.


The electrical system includes a 24V charger, e-meter, DC-DC converter with seperate 12V AGM battery.  Everthing is per current ABYC with respect to overcurrent protection, conductor size, etc (I am a marine surveyor).  One of the 24V battery banks has been disabled as it will not hold a charge and all batteries are now going on 7 years so it is probably time to consider replacement (last time I used AGM batteries from an elevator company).


The interior is fitted out with a new grid strucure including bulkheads and other joinery with mahogany staving and trim, new cushions, new head, LED lighting, sliding icebox, and other features.  I also increased the hull shell thickness in the keel area tapering off into the tun of the bilge and glassed the inside of the hull/deck joint.  I added the factory bowsprit.  Hull and decks are spray-applied Awlgrip.  New loose-footed mainsail.


I am asking $10,000.00, including trailer.  I think that this would be a good fit and unique oppurtunity for someone interested in electric boats, and would be happy to send interested persons a Dropbox link with  photos.


Thanks & regards,

Chris
