Different Types of Power Boats
There are many different types of power boats and the one you choose will need to be just right for your needs. To choose a power boat you really need to make a list of all the different features you would like as well as the different things you intend to do with it. For instance, if you want to go deep-sea fishing you will need a different kind of power boat than if you wanted to go for a lazy ride up the river. A boat meant to tow a water-skier will be different again. So here are a few of the different types of power boats to start you off on your search.
- A dinghy with a two or four-stroke motor. These can carry about 3 people and are made of wood, aluminium or fibreglass. They are good sheltered lakes or bays but uncomfortable for a long distance.
- Inflatables. These can be small or much bigger – the bigger ones are quite strong. They have no shelter so are not what you would choose for open water or a long haul.
- A power catamaran is both large and sturdy. This type of powerboat can hold up to ten people and is easy to drive. Its stability comes from the two hulls connected by the decking. They come in various sizes; the biggest being around 50 ft long.
- The Express cruiser is what you would choose for up to six people to spend one or more nights afloat in..
- A motor yacht is getting up into the expensive range of power boats. This type of power boat can take several people almost anywhere they care to go on water.

Could A Yacht Be Fully Electric?
There are 2 ways this could work.
For both ideas however, solar panels will be placed on the boat.. I could see 4-6 5 by 5 foot long panels fitting in various locations. There also could be a wind turbine, or two up by the radar area on the top of the yacht.
The solar panels would simply charge up the batteries, which would be used for propulsion.
-OR-
Solar panels and wind turbines would produce power to extract Hydrogen and Oxygen from water. The hydrogen would either be used in a fuel cell, or combusted.
The only problems I see is the power the panels and turbines produce, being able to move a yacht, the Hydrogen idea seems pretty practical.
Wind generator are most useful on a boat, followed by solar panels mounted on a Bi-mini or similar – solar panels are useless in the shade, so for the expense you make sure you can get max power out of them for the 25 – 40% of the day they can work. Normally mounted on adjustable racks to point at the sun manually therefore. A direct charging system should be fitted to the highly efficient main diesel engine. The power required to produce meaningful amounts of hydrogen is astounding. You have to generate more power than you will get in the hydrogen – It is not cost effective until scaled up to large scale supply systems. Fuel cells are now available that are very efficient – bit pricey though but silent and tireless – used to charge batteries rather than run base load.
At this moment with off the shelf equipment a hybrid system is the cost effective option – several layers of renewable and fuel run power producing technologies are combined to give real world useful supply. You could consider only using bio-diesel for the main engine and genny.
