There are all the regular sources for bare motors, motors with a controller (electric motor depot, etc.) and full drive solutions (our usual vendors). I believe that 5hp is just a bit undersized for the boat described, I would suggest at least 5 to 5.5kW (around 7hp or more) especially if going offshore.
The offshore scenario raises all of the regular considerations that we've discussed here over and over again, adequate energy storage and charging sources. A small diesel marine generator alone will cost as much as a new diesel repower and the diesel repower won't have the additional cost, complexity, weight and take up all the room that a serial hybrid would entail.
