Answer

Can an older boat in Mallorca be converted to electric instead of being replaced?

Yes. In Mallorca, older boats can often be modernised rather than scrapped, which keeps the boat’s character while giving it a new engine system. The conversion usually also involves practical refit work, such as checking the hull, improving the interior, and inspecting the mast.
