[Electric Boats] Outboard conversion for C&C 25 sailboat

 

Hi Everyone, I just joined the group as I have been researching electric propulsion for my sailboat.  I have a new Honda BF8 Classic outboard but I'd like to convert to electric for the learning experience.  The boat is about 4000# displacement, 2000# being the lead keel so it is very stable.  I am searching for a donor motor for cheap or free.  So far I am looking at this motor... Etek replacement.  


Has anyone done a conversion for this size displacement hull before?  I'm just looking for some guidance or advice from someone with a similar conversion.

Thanks,
Shaun
