Just as a FYI...I often wonder if the folks who are concerned about the safety of having gasoline onboard have an outboard for their dinghy.
For me it's not so much the safety issue. Sure, safety is a concern but that can be handled without a lot of fuss. Done it for years. My main concerns are engine maintenance, contaminated fuel, engine size/weight/storage needs, fuel doesn't keep well. I just find them to be more of an overall problem than what I want to deal with. They are a theft object on top of it. I used to own an old British Seagull, wish I still did actually and looked into buying one but seems they've become something of a cult item...
The modern electric motors look quite interesting, there have been some discussions here on them that have seemed to me there is room for improvement at this juncture of time. But I'm keeping my eyes on those.
So far the best from my perspective is a good rowing/sailing dingy. However, those are hard to store compared with an inflatable. But I'm digressing...
