It's kinda neat. It would be a nice test bed. Have the proverbial fork lift motor on deck? I don't know why the designers went the AC way unless it was a plan passed along from military specs from a submarine or some other old experimental thing... The old gas tank would be around 80 lbs counting the metal if you were adding batteries that would add a few less costly lead but higher duty and draining than the higher, more expensive, Nicad. Food for thought.
