auxiliary

There's a YouTube video of Lotus Flower motoring around. It's here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjqC9wZUVL8 if you would like to see it.

Does anyone know anything about using electric for auxiliary power? Has anyone here installed a system? I need a new outboard and the idea of an electric motor is intriguing. This would be for my E23 mk1, so it's just a tiny little hull to push through the water. Thanks, Mark

I was wondering if anyone has any info on the recommended horsepower size for the outboard in my E26? It came with an Evinrude 9.9 Hp. and it is rather cumbersome in the cockpit, If I ever need to replace it with a 4 stroke I don't think it would fit.
