Our dinghy has been springing leaks after about 15 years of service. So we've been thinking about a new dinghy and also a new engine that might be easier for me to start and more environmentally conscious. Naturally, we've looked at the Torqueedo. But we met a couple a few days ago who were terribly unhappy with their torqueedo. They said it took 8 hours to charge and would only run for about an hour which was barely enough to get all their crew to shore for dinner in two trips there and back. 

So I thought I'd ask what the collective experience is here with electrically powered marine outboards.
