I redid my solar platform, moved it back farther behind the stays. I also put an angle on it so it looked smaller. I can tip them up if needed. I will have to wait a few more weeks to fiberglass it all together. Also there is a pic of my swim or boarding platform. I had filled in the motor well when I did the refit. I reused the stanchions and some bamboo planks. The best part of the whole boat makes boarding from the kayak a breeze.

Very nice!
It can be a trick boarding from a kayak!

Nice! That’s a lot of solar power! Guessing 300 Watts?
Looks good. I’m researching solar ideas as well. Thanks for the ideas

6 50 watt panels, one panel and one controller for each battery. This way they stay in balance. I am working on a small ICE driven alternator @ 60v, 50 to 100 amps to do the bulk charge if needed. I have a 60v motor to drive the boat if needed. This bank also becomes my house bank. I wanted to be able to be self sufficient but still have emergency power if needed.

Very cool!
