Walter:
This looks like a good system, and I really like the addition of the "PURPLE" blades as these are well know to cut down the noise. If I convert this properly at Watts/Volts=Amps, then this 400 watts/12 v = 33 amps! IS that what this can put out at max wind speeds? That says it can put out 33 amps in 32 mph winds! WOW!
Start up wind is about 5 mph, which I find amazing as well. Then it says it is about 15 lbs.
From the specs I just read on their web site, I cant see anything wrong. Does it really do this well, is what I would like to know as well.

Looks great to me, but then I was sold on the D400, because it was quiet when ever I have seen one on a boat in person.
