the elco motors are allot more expensive then what I was thinking of;

^ sailnet wont let me post proper links yet
$1500 and you get a controller(that can work as a charger), 6hp motor which you could run at 15hp for 30sec, which would be fantastic for docking, anchoring or evasive maneuvers. I would expect a complete system to cost 7-10k with 400w of solar panel and only get you 3-4 hours at hull speed on a 30' boat, but it would get you a long ways at 3 knots.
