Re: Propane, the kiss of death

Thanks for acknowledging that they exist. Range? Check an above message where the guy cruises all day on solar and all nite on battery. That some cant afford it is a different matter.

Re: Propane, the kiss of death

That's funny....and from a guy who doesnt know electric boats/hybrids already exist, and calls them 'unicorn boats'.

Re: Propane, the kiss of death

When YOU say 'most' boats, you include tiny ones with only 12 volt and no inverters. When I say most boats I only mean cruiser boats, like 50-60'.

Re: Critique My Plan

Livaboard kids DO get to play with other kids, whether around the marina or on the streets in every port. Home education in general is better than the dysfunctional gov sector schools. But sure,...

Re: Critique My Plan

Thanks, but remember, being on board a long time is very different than weekends. Especially kids around and such. So washing machines, etc. And since you can afford it, I go more like 50' or more.

Re: A Little Good News
