I hate to sound like a nay-sayer but if your range is only 3-4 hours on a good day, I would never want to be more than 30 minutes away from a safe harbor. An unexpected thunder storm with adverse current could slow you down to 2 MPH.
I had a friend that went electric on a sailboat with about the same electric motor range. Long story but it turned out to be a very bad idea.
Going electric is expensive yet very limiting.
Just something to think about.
