Best remove your outboard off your dingy, for the trip.

You need a motor to go as fast the boat can go.always overpower.

For those who don't think an electric motor is not a good idea because of the range: Get a diesel genset
Advantages,
* You can use it for the hotel load
* This is the best: You will save about 40% in fuel cost because there's - compared to an inboard diesel - no longer a mismatch between torque and RPM.
* You can, of cource recharge the batteries.
* You would probably want to get 2 gensets, for weight balance, and if one fails you have the other, and if both fails you can use one of them to be donor of spare parts for the other.

Cons,
Initially more expensive setup, but you can DIY the electric motor by using a rim motor used for EVs: Rim motors has a very low RPM (direct drive wheel), and very high torque. I had seen 700 Nm for a 15 KW rim motor. A rim motor is also very silent compared to the high RPM motors.

When you were thinking of becoming nomadic (RV or Boat life), did you make a plan on how you can make a living, a timeline, your future plans for possibly transitioning back to a traditional life, etc? I thought this life was a non starter with my wife until yesterday, when I made a crack about how moving aboard would solve a problem she was dealing with, and she said, "I have never seen a plan from you on how to do "those things"."

On my Manafold, I have the Fresh water pressure hooked up too it, thus at anytime I can backwash the salt water intake , so that too also lay up my engine every time on fresh water, also have another line too the bilge so that you can use your generator too pump out the bilge, I also do not have a generator just my 28 hp diesel Volvo, by the way it has a hand crank, which I have used. When all my batteries were dead, in a morning learned that a hurricane was coming, in my 7200 nm of travel up and down the North East Coast in 12 years of sailing my Beneteau Oceanis 350 1989 , None of the Electronics Available back when I got Starlight, so in 1995, installed an 8D and 4D , being a pilot , I knew how to Dead Reckoning, and also a sextant, which you need, I also used Paper charts, so, Yes, understand the new navigation systems but have also seen the devastation of a Lighting Strike on my friends SeaRay. My Fuel tank is only 21 gallons and in the 20 years have only used 150 gallons and only 760 hours. Mainly generator with a police alternator I installed with 110 gallons of water and an engine coolant powered water heater, which turned out to be our main reason we could only last 4 days at a time on the hook. Way too expensive for a watermaker, we only sailed her in the summer, she was our summer home, took my sons from boys too men, I am doing a refit on her now. However, in my years of sailing, I can tell you at anchor with Nor Easter’s, even though I did not drag, I still started my Engine and ran it for 6 hours straight at 1725, she likes that RPM at Anchor through the height of the storm creating hot water, but more having her running if I needed her, she only burned .5 a Gallon per hour at that RPM and 14 hp load from the over sized 125amp alternator. Often on the great Gunk holes we would love too anchor in there was sea grass that would clog up the intake having the fresh water back wash was a life savor, also laying up the heat exchanger with fresh water every time I used the engine left the heat exchanger with no Growth and, the Exhaust elbow not all rusted up. Get a Crash pump, get a DC powered Crash pump. Anything can put a hole in your Boat, in the Ocean that you can hit. Have a good water proof tarp. You can put it underside of the boat again too limit the water coming in. More fenders and big ones, at anchoring many people drag during storms the can hit you etc. More spring lines, save your running rigging. More blocks, spares , chandeliers are few and expensive in the Caribbean, the boat is constantly breaking something. Get a 5 min Spare air , comes with a tank and regulator all in one. Leave it with your easy too grab, that and a good bar knife Marine issue, nets , pots other things can grab a hold of your boat make very dangerous times, if you cannot quickly cut them away, you will not be able too hold your breath. God Bless, Fair winds.

Running a generator to generate electricity for an electric motor instead of having a diesel engine makes no sense.

It's not a lie @sailinguma is never in a hurry they plan their trips different or maybe even better than you guys

I love that you are calling this out. Even in this thread I see the preening presumed superiority of people who see this is more than just a method of propulsion. I remember when Sailing Uma was doing like their 3rd motor/system refit, I innocently asked about how much distance they could go on motor between the generation capabilities and the batteries. I mentioned that there are many circumstances when one has to get somewhere when doing long range cruising, such as illness, weather, injury/illness, schedules – a guest has to get a flight – etc. I got a reply claiming they were real sailors and I was not. Lol. It was so unexpectedly obnoxious and arrogant, I was surprised. I was literally just trying to understand the range in a worst case. I realized there is something more going on with such folks. It totally ruined their channel, which tbh had always seemed just a bit too 'precious' to me but I ignored that. But at that point, I realized how arrogant and political they actually were. I wonder if they ever looked at how the lithium and cobalt for their batteries were mined? How about those solar panels?

Instead of a scotch bright pad. Try taking a piece of old carpet and invert it inside out so you have the carpet bottom on the outside, makes a great mitt just slightly bigger than your hand. Works best for me when I leave the finger end open, by just sewing the two nice sides of the carpet together, cause the carpet end works as a soft scrapper for a while till, the carpet gets soft.
