I wonder if the two 38 hp electric motors are going to be adequate punching
into significant seas and heavy winds?  Granted that these would be unusual
conditions, but things like this do happen.

The on line brochure mentions a 3/4 liter (750 cc) diesel driving the  25 KW
generator (two).  A 750 cc diesel would produce about 15 to 20 hp--or under
most circumstances a 7 KW generator--maybe I am missing something.  Most 25 KW
gensets are run by a 2 to 2.5 liter diesel engine closer to 50 hp.
