You are an electrical guy. Build an inboard with a generator attached.
Take the power head off an old 2 stroke and add an electric motor. I have
though for a time that that would be a cure for the high priced 4 stroke
O/B’s.

Some time ago that was considering making a “hybrid” for my other which would have been a small Kuboda 2 cyl powering a large cap. DC gen charging batteries which in turn would feed a DC forklift motor. This would turn a foldable prop from a jack shaft. I think it’d be neat but who wants to hear that diesel rattle and choke everyone. “The Africken’ Queen” would be a good name for it*
