Looking for opinions regarding small motor to navigate through canals and from dock to a beach to raise sails.

I am between a small gas outboard like a Honda and a motor called
Torqueedo (all electric).

The Torquedo does not require a large car type battery but does cost about $2,000! The Honda is under $1,000.

I imagine the Cheata mount is what most use for a mount.

Any experienced opinions are welcome.
