I would add KTA Services to the list of places to
check: (909) 949-7914.<br><br>I recently purchased all
the propulsion system components, except batteries
and charger, for my 23' fantail from them. The cost
was just over $2200 and that included LOTS more than
just the motor and the controller--right down to the
cabling and crimping tools, and the connectors.<br><br>I
did find that the more power your application
requires, the more specialized (and the more expensive)
everything becomes. A 38' boat is BIG.<br><br>One other
general point--you have to keep in mind that once those
batteries are installed you not only have a major portion
of your propulsion system but a major portion of
your operating costs as well. You can recharge the
batteries at a fraction of the cost of pumping $1.50/gal
diesel into those tanks after each outing.
