So I'm thinking I don't get enough funny looks from other boat owners yet..

I have a small boat 26ft, 2000kg and plan on doing a fair bit of canal work, might even head for Berlin. Not in any particular rush. Engine noise also annoys me. So I'm doing the maths on a solar/electric auxiliary (for canals only obviously)

I'd obviously still have the diesel for strong currents etc.
