Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric conversion

I'm the 'Owner' of the group on Groups.io (https://groups.io/g/electricboats) and also a moderator of this Yahoo Group.

When Yahoo announced they were stripping back capabilities and support on their groups platform a decision was made to migrate everything to Groups.io. Which was done.

The Yahoo group remained because some members voiced the opinion that they didn't want to have to sign up for a new group on a new platform.

That's why they both exist.

Hope this helps.

Yahoo killed off most of the functionality of their "groups" product, so now it is just a simple email list. The "electric boats" group got migrated to groups.io. That new site works like the old yahoo version did, and in my opinion, somewhat better.

I'm not sure why this thread started using the yahoo version or why everyone just kept the discussion here. I've just been reading the posts and deleting, figuring that someone would eventually take this the current channel.

I agree with you. I havent found another system that is more cost effective while also allowing me to customize the install to my specs. Having a tough time with betts as well.

Looking at as many websites as possible. I don't see anything better than Thunderstruck. It looks like with 25,700 displacement, I'll need to go with the 18 kw ME1.616 motor.
There seems to be a large price range in batteries. Do solar storage batteries work well. There are some Chinese companies that make these batteries much cheaper than others.

Jeff,
I'm at the beginning stages of refurbishing my CT41. I am starting to dismantle the Yanmar today! You know more than I do.

I have a 42 year old Hunter 30 that I am restoring. I am in the process of getting the small engine compartment ready for a 10kw thunderstruck engine. I would love to hear some of your suggestions on batts, chargers and solar that you would recommend. Thanks.
