If you are considering electric versus gas outboards, the gas powered outboard will be readily available, lighter, cheaper, more powerful, have simpler installation and have a much longer range. The electric will be cleaner, quieter and have somewhat less maintenance (wet cells have maintenance requirements)
Depending on the intended usage, one may find that an electric outboard is the right answer, but the choice is definately up the individual.
