Hi all, Gonna bring up that old electric power thread again. For those of you interested in dumping the outboard, check out this site: http://re-e-power.com/ The E-POD System 1000 looks kind of interesting. There is also some info about a 15 lb. portable fuel cell for marine use. Probably costs more than our boats though. George Burmeyer "Haiku" 1986 M15 #385 Santa Rosa, CA
