Solar Powered Trawler

...actually a solar powered, former Fraser River gillnetter. I chatted with the captain. It has 1100 watts of panels, a 48 volt golf cart motor and 8 x 6 volt batteries at 420 amp hours. He has a range of about 30 miles a day. He uses it to travel around the Gulf Islands.

I have poor cell service so could not post a photo, but there is a photo mid way down here:
