back to outboards--if you like the generator for energy idea--what about using an electric outboard? Torqeedo makes a 40 and 80 hp model. provides not only redundancy in shaft/prop, but also potentially steering.
Any thoughts? Actually, just read that the electric outboard uses high voltage, so it's probably not practical. back to diesel.....
