Re: [electricboats] 14’ skiff with electric outboard needs a home

I send you commiserations. Your husband built a beautiful boat. Those engines are powerful units if highest quality so should sell for good prices as the market is still early days. They will also work on sailing boats to a bit above 26' so try posting in Sailer trailer sites. I am in a different country so I cannot make an offer.

Best regards

Hello,  How can I respond to this lady?  I'm in NC, the Raleigh area.  I am a wooden boat builder and am familiar with electric propulsion.  Have built several electric rigs for my boats.  Would like to get further information and see the boat.

Thanks sincerely,

Glenn Holland

Subject: [electricboats] 14' skiff with electric outboard needs a home

 

My husband was a member of this group. He was passionate about electric vehicles and lovingly designed and built a 14' skiff for an electric motor. "Coquina" was completed in 2021. He built a battery pack and tried out 2 different electric outboards, an Elco 9.9 rs and a Europulision navy 6.0. We were able to enjoy it for about a year before he got sick. He passed in 2023. I am looking for a home for Coquina. It has a trailer. Both the trailer and boat have a clear title. I don't know the details about the battery system. I mostly want to find it a good home, price is negotiable. I am enclosing a few pictures. I can provide more for anyone that is interested. Coquina is currently in NC.

 

thanks, J.Simms
