[Electric Boats] Re-Powering a Catalina 27

 

My boys and I have re-furbished a 1974 Catalina 27 for local PHRF racing in Melbourne FL.
 The old Atomic 4 went overboard fast. Now we are thinking Electric. We can go O/B or I/B.  We left the shaft in the boat and have a O/B bracket, but are leaning toward an inboard set-up. We don't use our gas 5.0 hp O/B much at all.
 We race a lot so we need to keep her as light as we can. I figure we saved about 400 lbs by going to an outboard.  We can get away with run times of an hour or two tops. I am a newcomer to electric so please keep it simple ( and Cheap!)  Suggestions?
