I guess that my thinking on that was headed
towards offsetting the weight of the batteries. If using
a 36 volt golfcart motor and 6 volt batteries, I
would need at least seven batteries (motor and
accessories) at say 70 lbs each = 500#. While I would gain
some weight capacity by taking all the rig off,
probably not much over 100#. How much effect does 400# of
"extra" weight have on a boat that size? That's at least
two people; of course, less people on board means
more beer for the skipper. <br>That too is an
interesting question: are electric boat people more refined
than sailors? Will I have to start drinking fine wine
or Manhattens?
