A Norwegian company, Evoy, offers this beauty at roughly 150 hp. Weighing in at only 330 pounds. If you purchase batteries and add it all up, it's gonna be a bit more expensive than a gasoline outboard which might have to run to 200 hp to keep up. If estimated use is about 350 hours a year, it will pay for its own extra cost in fuel savings.....in the VERY FIRST YEAR. Not a bad idea.....as battery technology improves, who's to say it's not a "GREAT IDEA"? Just think how many less moving parts to wear out.....and flat torque...... Not sure how they cool em, however.
