I fully agree to the diesel-electric technology where the propulsion and energy supply comes into discussion for my powercats, or for any other yacht for that matter.
Some weeks ago I started a thread in the technical discussion chapter on this.
Having looked at Solomon Technology's site, thy're OK but limited in power and therefore in size of yacht-application.
I know of a number of US companies building jet-engined gensets. They're lighter (very important on a cat), smaller (also very usefull) and requiring much less maintenance than a diesel.
I agree some problems have to be addressed, and that suitable electric motors have to be sourced.
