[Electric Boats] Beginner thoughts

 

I am a long time lurker desirous of building a small launch to use on a very quiet local river. Two questions that haven't been answered by the search facility:

1. Why wouldn't an auto starter motor provide a low tech solution for short distance cruising?

2. Has anyone looked at the arduino micro-controller as an inexpensive motor controller? The computer itself is around $20.00 and a diy motor controller is (supposedly) available as a kit for $15. This would control 36 volts and 8 amps.

Thanks for the help
