I'd rather have 2
electric outboards that can be slid/rotated out of the
water than the proprietary complexity of a diesel/electric that uses clutches/transmission/sail drive. If my brushless 2500 watt trolling
motor can be deployed on a 5' x 1 3/8"
fiberglass shaft then a 10-15k watt
electric motor can do the same in a similar fashion.
