I think you’ll find the elec motors seem like a good idea, but in practice fall short. Managing the
battery charging is a pain and they just aren’t built as sturdy as a gas
motor.
Prior to cruising full time we thought we wanted one. Knowing what I do now, I’d never consider it. Our dingy is our daily car,
work horse, and pleasure cruiser. We need it to be up to all we throw at it. Lower hp motors can be dangerous when you find yourself in currents or anything but flat
water.
