Hi Ryan

I would like to come up and see it. We will be in Vancouver in a month. 

I am finishing up an electric re-power here in Oxnard on a Mariner 31 Ketch. 

Heard good thing about the Thunderstruck. What brand are the batteries? 

my cell is 805-821-1151

Ciao

Bruno

Considering offers for my 1970 (launched 77) Rawson 30 ketch, featuring a Thunderstruck 10kw motor, sec on gen4 controller, and 800ah battery bank (will push you all day at 4.0 kts). 

DIY conversion from diesel done in 2019 with great advice from this group.

Boat is currently moored in Bellingham, WA, great slip on the outer edge of the marina, sunset and sunrise views.

Thick fiberglass, dry boat. 800ah 12v house battery, inverter, 12v solar panels charging, lots of equipment including skin on frame dinghy and 12v trolling motor /battery. Composting head, gas stove, custom copper countertops, fridge stopped working, works as a cooler, probably fixable. Lots of equipment - everything you need for cruising, camping, tools for any work or repairing. Tiller steering, Autopilot, Wi-Fi, mast camera, nav tablet… Sleeps 4.  Could use some cosmetic attention. Sails are ok, somewhat worn.

Asking $25k, open to offers.

Re: [electricboats] Kiwiprop

UPDATE.

I finally removed the Kiwiprop and replaced it with a 14x16 3 blade prop. I now have zero vibration and it performs very well.

I found that the Kiwiprop got gunked up with growth quite quickly which prevented it from working well. If you use your boat often, like every week I think the kiwi is a good option but it seems like if you leave the boat for a month at a time it just stops working from all the growth.

If anyone wants to give the Kiwi a go I'll part with it for 300 bucks plus shipping. It is a good propeller, but I think you need to spin it often to keep it working well.

[electricboats] Brand new power wall style lifepo4 batteries - at cost

I'm cleaning up after a project was cancelled by a client - I've got five meritsun 51.2v 200ah lifepo4 powerwall style batteries, and two very similar units from GSL, all new in the box with cables and mounting hardware. 100a C rate, easily paralleled, CAN bus comms. Work great for propulsion batteries as long as you can mount them (any orientation) somewhere dry. Weigh 200lbs each.

In the Seattle area but also willing to ship.
Letting these go at cost. Email for more info. These are great batteries and I've put lots of them into commercial agriculture installations.
