>In this new version of our old favorite, Nancy's China goes topless, and
>if you take a
>closer look at the rudder you will see her auxiliary power plant. We
>have added an
>electric motor. The motor is a 43 pound thrust electric, powered by two
>8D
>deep-cycle 12 volt DC batteries. With three forward and three reverse
>speeds
>available, Nancy's China DC cruises at 4 knots for approximately 14
>hours. There is a
>built-in 20 amp battery charger that will completely recharge the
>batteries. Just hook
>it up to household current at home, or on the dock, and you are ready to
>go again.
>The batteries at 143 1bs. each also serve as ballast.
