[Electric Boats] conversion

 

I'm new to the idea of electric boat conversion but familiar with auto EV conversion. Aside from no regenerative breaking benefits why wouldn't one just convert, as per an auto?
I have an I/O (force L drive) that is essentially a 125 hp outboard, mounted atop and I/O lower drive unit. There is some battery storage capacity below deck in the keel and several other areas.
Couldn't the upper end outboard type gas motor just be replaced with a similar hp electric motor? and controller etc.
What issues or constraints are unique to boat vs. auto conversion?

thanks for any insights.
