Hi all, I'm new to the group, but I am from Amsterdam, Netherlands, and have dealt a lot with Mastervolt for my electric sloop when i converted it.
In my opinion they are top of the line in most of their products. I have a pod, controller, charger, instrumentation, etc that I bought from 2 retailers here, who have the most knowledge and experience with electric boating. there is even a subsidy scheme to help with the costs of buying or converting to electric.
here's a link to their prices and range of stuff.

Arka is also a good company, though a little tougher to deal with. I think Combi motors are the cheapest, but for the small price difference, MV is the way to go IMHO.
also some good info: http://www.elektrischvaren.info/
and another very good retailer (mostly arka, but a bit of everything) http://www.etd-net.nl/Aandrijvingen.html
hope that helps more than it confuses.
