[electricboats] Torqeedo

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've checked in here.  About 15 years ago, I installed a Torqeedo Cruise 4 on my 24 foot pontoon and have been very pleased with the results.  I am now interested in doing a very similar project and wanted to get input from you guys. I see prices have risen a lot, but so has inflation.  $5,000ish is what I am expecting (but less would be nice).  That's just for the motor as I already have a 48v bank of LiFePO4's. 

So, my questions are:
Is Torqeedo still a good choice?  
Where should I buy one?  A local marina?  I don't see much on Torqeedo's site as far as places that stock them.  I do see ads for places like "Defender Marine" but I don't have any experience with them.  I feel funny putting a $5,000 item in an online shopping cart and pressing "buy now" without getting some guidance first.  (By the way, I'm in northeastern Ohio on an small inland chain of lakes.  (There are a number of marinas near by, but none seem to be Torqeedo dealers or have any interest in electric motors.) 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas,
Pat
