Hi Dennis, I think about stern unfoldable floating solar panels, but is only an idea.
best regards, Angelo Merico

I am, hopefully, in the process of removing my two 8v71 Detroit Diesels (which each weigh about 4,000 pounds) and replacing them with electric motors, batteries, and a generator.
She weighs in at 32 tons. I keep her in or close to the marina, so my desired range is probably 10-15 miles max, at a speed of 8-10 knots.
I have shore power and the capability of using either one or two 100 sq.ft spaces for solar arrays.
I have looked at several systems, and I realize it's a big project. I'm looking for whatever suggestions I can get on engine size, voltage, genset requirements, prop size and pitch, etc.
Also am aware of having to add ballast to account for the large amount of weight I will be removing from the hull line.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
