Why do you think the available outboards are overpriced?
The Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 and the Cruise 4.0 are in the $2,700 to $3,700
range. Expensive? Maybe. but seemingly very high quality.

The Parsun used the same engine that Denny uses and can be gotten for around
$2,500.

You get an awful lot of extras in there that would cost a good deal. Plus
there is all that fine engineering and system matching that has to be worth
a lot. For example the Parsun uses electronic components that you can get
for about $1,500 (motor, controller, cable harness)- only needing to add the
gears, structure to hold everything, rearings, shaft and prop. How much are
you going to save by going inboard if you really would prefer an outboard?

need some guidance.
