Andy Guibord has a nice small used Evinrude tiller 2 stroke electric start jet outboard for sale.
It is a 25hp power head with a jet pump (~30% loss) so it should be about 17.5 hp at the jet.
It will work with 1 or 2 people in a very light 14 fot aluminum boat.
It would be nice for getting around in our valley rivers but you can't put it on a heavy boat or load a boat up a lot and exspect it to work.
I would also put a set of 8 foot oars on this boat.
I don't think an electic motor and heavy battery would work either. You have to keep it light....
It starts and runs but needs a tune up..........$1,000.00
I have had this motor before and had it on a 14 foot Jon boat.
Call us at the shop if you want to talk about it.
Andy will be working Friday/Saturday/Sunday....
