I have an Electric Yacht QT2.5 (no longer offered publicly, but likely still available if you contact EY) installed on a 3200 lb. catboat for the past three years, and have had no issues with the unit. It is a direct drive (no gear reduction). It is a 24V system. I got good service during the purchase stage (customized boat power/range charts). The only hiccup was that they delivered a throttle assembly (nice, stainless steel body) which did not have a post/lever. This made actuation while wet difficult. They replaced the part gratis with one which included a stem after a season of use.

I recently pulled out a frozen Volvo Penta from a Santana 30/30 GP, so I am also doing research for an 10kw electric propulsion system to get me in and out of a small inland cove marina. I have spent time looking into the Thunderstruck EV 10kw kit and the other systems listed via Plugboats.com. As you will see, the motors and batteries costs very widely. My goal is to try to select a simple system that I can install and maintain by myself. And try to find a system that was manufactured in the USA with a multiyear warranty. I would like to be in the $7000 to 8000 range for the motor kit + lithium batteries. In addition to Thunderstruck, the company I have been investigating is Electric Yachts. I like their QuiteTorque 10kw propulsion system. I am not settled on batteries since the costs and warranties very widely, but very interested on others choices. Please keep us informed of your progress with the system.
