I have a 1989 Luhrs 400 that I don't particularly plan on selling anytime soon. Diesels are pretty well out of the question due to the cost it would take to purchase and install (from what I have found somewhere around 100k for the engines and install). I started looking into the idea of going electric - gas hybrid. What is everyone's thoughts? From what I can gather it would be somewhere around 25kish for the batteries (it would be like back of the napkin math 15 57v 56AH 3.5Kw battery packs for a 50KwH battery pack), motors and controllers not counting what I could get for the old 89 Crusader 454's. Anyways the motors I have selected would be the equivalent of Lehman 120's. The boat still has a 6.5 Kw gas generator that would stay and I am putting on solar and probably a wind generator. I was just wondering what everyone else though about the idea if it was good, bad or just different for regional florida cruising, maybe just maybe if the stars align getting to the Bahamas and or the Keys.
