Future plans for powering the boat:

The boat came with a very nice, almost unused Yanmar diesel engine, which costs around 15,000 to replace, so I am definitely not getting rid of it; even though I would prefer to convert the boat to run on electric. But I am still trying to make the boat eco-friendly, and diesel is not exactly green or cheep. So that made me think...hmmm bio-diesel could power my boat and be green. And if there is no one else getting the used cooking oil, from the restaurants in my tiny hometown; then maybe it could be cheep as well.:) We shall see...
