Default Low power sailing, was inexpensive diesel engines

Here's an ebay link to thoosa electric motors. They look a bit pricey to
me, start at 15hp for AU$7,500 and go up to 60HP for about AU$10,500. No
idea on the quality/usability etc, but i do see this guy advertise on ebay.
They look to have a full turnkey system, but I'm thinking to wait another
5-10 years when these things will hopefully get cheap!

There's also the torqueedo electric outboard. I see that Jamestown
Dist. is selling those. Not cheap though.
