I know this is tangential (euphemism for drift) but why do Greenline turn a pair of VW diesels into electricity producers for electric motors rather than just turn shafts with them? I suppose it`s to power the electric system when the built in solar panels can`t, but if you are going to put 300hp of diesel in a lightish 40ft SD boat, isn`t that enough? Are they just saluting electric power for the sake of being Green(line)?
