I'm a business school student looking at the market feasibility of
introducing a 2-10HP electric outboard engine that could be used as
primary propulsion. This product would be introduced by a major player
in the industry within the next few years. Since you are all avid boat
users I would like to hear your reactions and get your thoughts on
whether or not this would be an attractive product. I would also like
to know how you see this product being used once it is introduced.

I was the first to put an electric trolling motor on the back of a
boat. I did it in 1936.
