Hello,
For electric why not use an electric outboard such as a 48 volt Torqeedo ? The Trimaran "Current Sunshine" switched to this after having poor results with a E-Pod.  He now has over twice the efficiency of his original E-pod !
 
 
Happy Sailing,

Possibly the time has not come for electric drive on these boats but as batteries get lighter and more efficient and liquid fuels get more expensive the time should not be too far off.
Good point about twin keels not bringing CLR as far forward. How far apart do they need to be to avoid interference?
