The price gap between an electric outboard and a gas outboard gets a lot of attention. What doesn't get enough attention is what happens to that gap over time. The ePropulsion Spirit 2 costs $4,199. A Mercury 5hp runs $1,735. That's a $2,464 difference at the register, and we're not going to pretend that isn't significant. It is. But if you're buying a motor you plan to use for the next decade, the purchase price is only the beginning of the conversation. Fuel, winterization, impeller replacements, scheduled service — it all adds up on the gas side in ways that are easy to underestimate when you're standing in a showroom.
