I think the improvement curve for battery systems is far steeper than that of diesel fuel.
In 10 years, I am guessing diesel auxiliaries will be all but obsolete for environmental reasons – ducks and runs for cover!
All,
I highly recommend spending time with your electric system vendor, discussing your objectives.
Additionally, based on a couple of intrepid, real-world exemplars, you can apparently get quite far on used EV batteries. Your mileage may vary and this is definitely not an endorsement.
I plan on using those things called sails quite a bit 🙂 so motor sailing, and carrying a small generator to help with recharging in an emergency.
Will I make it through every weather condition no problem? No. But thats why I intend to cruise – no deadlines and I can pick my weather window. If I wanted to make it through every weather condition with my motor running, I’d buy a trawler, and not a 424.

Hi,
Unfortunately, you have to post directly to the website, not respond to emails. This functionality stopped working with a recent release of WordPress, our site platform, and no-one appears able to restore it.
Please post all responses to the web, and they will show up happily there.

Dan,
Anything you can share about performance? Range? Etc?
I’d love to do a writeup on the site!

Evan,
I suppose, like anything, really good prep and then a spray application will give you the best results. Right now, my boot stripe looks like it was hurriedly brushed on, so frankly anything will be better!
Back to the boat in the next few weeks again to get going. I’ll have a lot more on the engine and its fit when I get back.
Fair winds!

Has anyone used Quantum 99 as yet?
I see some good things about it on Boatworks Today:
Any experiences to share?
