[electricboats] FOR SALE: 1980 Cape Dory 30C with electric motor and lithium pack

Hi everyone -- We are selling our 1980 Cape Dory 30 cutter, which we repowered with Thunderstruck's 10kw kit and a pack of 21 Nissan Leaf cells and recharge with 2 100w solar panels or shore power. We were very happy with the kit and worked with Matt Foley of Sunlight Conversions in NJ on the battery pack and the solar panel system. The boat also has shore power for faster charging and a plug-in generator for extended range. The boat is currently in Bridgeport, CT, and we're asking $20,000. Here's a link to the listing and I pasted the text below: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/518074549952246/

Re: the battery pack, the cells are balanced and in good condition; estimated to be roughly 65% capacity. They're configured 3p7s to run the 48v system with Thunderstruck's BMS. There's also a step-down converter to either power the 12v DC system or keep the house battery (brand-new 100ah AGM acts as a "savings bank" in case the 48v pack is ever depleted, crew will still have lights and radio). The charging system is controlled by Thunderstruck's BMS; boat can be charged by the two 100w solar panels or shore power charging. The batteries and the motor are all mounted to the engine bed (the 20gal diesel tank was removed). 

The listing: 
Qu'Appelle ("ca-pelle") is a 1980 Cape Dory 30 with a cutter rig--and perhaps one of the few CDs to be converted to electric drive. No more worrying about your engine seizing up for the season--Qu'Appelle starts up every time! Outfitted with a custom self-steering wind vane, two 100-watt solar panels that charge the lithium battery bank for the motor, and a brand-new house battery that charges via a step-down converter, this blue-water cruiser is completely off the grid. A plug-in gas generator allows for extended range while motoring. When you want quicker charging and comfort at the dock, just use the new shore power system with new wiring for multiple AC outlets and LED lighting in the galley, saloon, and v-berth. A new propane system with a solenoid shut-off controls both the gimbaled stove oven in the galley and the Cozy Cabin heater in the salon. This boat was being outfitted to circumnavigate by the previous owners and was disassembled with parts of the lining cut out so that leaks could easily be spotted and addressed. The previous owners also fixed any blisters in the hull and added barrier coat for further protection. She was reassembled in 2018 and has been lightly sailed since then . . . now she's ready for your adventures. Cape Dorys are solid boats known for their steadiness in the water due to their heavy displacement. They're a good-looking, "shippy" style, thanks to their Spartan Marine hardware, teak trim, and classic cutter rig. The draft is only 4'2", allowing more flexibility when anchoring; two CQR anchors, 200 feet of all-chain rode, and a Mantus bridle system give you peace of mind. A stacking dinghy on thick, thru-bolted teak supports sits below the main sail, ready to be launched and taken ashore. Qu'Appelle is a Carl Alberg design, which shows when she sails! With the original sail plan--a yankee up front and a staysail--and a slab reefing system that includes two reefs in the main, Qu'Appelle will get you through just about any weather comfortably.
