It's going to be very confusing when "flat white" means bread and they re-instate 2-strokes, imperial units and instant coffee....

This is the exact outfit I recently went for, as a boat which would be equally comfortable on the canals & rivers locally and coastal around the UK. Only had it out a couple of times so far, but very impressed. See other threads for pics!

The electric, while not able to push at breakneck speeds, will quite happily push you along at a comfortable 3-5 knots with plenty of range - and near silent! No faffing around with carbs & fuel fumes, just throw in the car and go. Even at first attempt, back of car to underway was 30 mins (with learning time/mistakes included!)
Definitely recommend ePropulsion over Torqeedo.
