[PROPELLER]

Mee-n-Mac, I seem to recall maybe 2 years ago Motorboating had a feature article in their engine/power section about experimenting with a hybrid for a boat. I recall that it was a somewhat large fishing boat like a Viking, Cabo, not sure. The fuel tank was reduced in size by 50% but did not lose any range & it only lost 2-3 mph hour. Thats all I can remember.

I wish now I kept the article. I tried a search on their website but did not have any success. Do you know anything about this? You seem very well informed about the subject. Maybe someone else remembers or still has the issue, I do not save them.

On another note, more in line with what APS was saying. It seems that there is alternative technology that could be refined & developed but is not. Maybe because its not in big oil companies & oil producing countries interest. One example is hydrogen fuel cell technology. I know other technologies have their own problems but to just ignore it & wait for oil to run out(it will happen eventually) seems irresponsible. If something doesn't change in the near future we'll be walking to work or riding horses again.
