Dan Best wrote in news:47a49137$0$36384 : I wonder how many amp hours it takes cook a meal on that magnetic induction cook top. Round numbers say 2Kwh... 2000wh/13V=150-200 AH off the house batteries. The boat is setup for a POWER PLANT, not batteries-and-a-flashlight hermits. Does't it have a diesel power plant? It needs one. Noone's gonna run an electric stove off batteries....unless they're on a submarine with some SERIOUS batteries. The recharging would drive you crazy! Power has to come from somewhere.... Larry "Nothing is funnier than a yachtie with a new 4KW inverter carrying his electric heater down the dock with a big smile on his face." Dan and Larry, You are on to the drift of my comments. I still like the monel hull, material and shape, and some of the features. If you threw out half the crap and put in a decent cooker and vane it would be a good boat. And you don't have to cross the Pacific to get it to where it is. My own boat, a Murray 33 by Ted Brewer is much simpler. But I have a proper vane and autopilot, kerosene cooker, kerosene heater, Espar diesel heater, and sea berths. No AC needed at 50N. |
