Hybrid Marine have a range of packages aimed at Broadbeam barges. We can supply systems based on the popular range of Barrus Shire or Beta Marine engines. Using the same reliable and proven technology for our narrow beam boats we have scaled up the electric drive and power generation capability. These system offer 20kW of electric drive and up to 13kW of generation. A big part of the decision process to choose a hybrid is to understand the costs involved. By working with equipment suppliers and reputable boat builders we have put together a complete hybrid package that results in an overall boat cost that is little more than a standard build.

Broad beam 20kW hybrid based on a Beta 75 or 90hp Greenline engine

A number of packages are avilable based on Beta Marine and Barrus Shire engines from 50hp up to 150hp.

A Complete hybrid package gives you 4 to 6 hours of electric drive capability and up to 13kW of power generation. Using the 5kVA (10kVA peak) charger/inverter supplied you can cook electric and eliminate gas onboard. These packages will add a surprisingly small amount to the cost of your boat.

The Hybrid ready package sets you up with a powerful electrical system based on a large 48V battery and a 48V / 5kW alternator bank. This system allows you to cook electric and provides an easy future upgrade to a complete hybrid system when funds allow. When compared to a separate generator and propulsion engine, this package can actually reduce the build cost of your boat .
