I have both a Torqeedo and a 4hp Nissan on a 10 foot inflatable cruising Northeast USA. For me, its all about ease of installation and type of cruising you do.

I use electric when only splashing the dink for one or two nights as it is light and easy to install. Since we mostly anchor, I don't usually recharge until back at home port.

The gasser when staying in one location for extended periods and expect to do longer dinghy runs.

Also, the Torqeedo also makes a good backup for the gasser. This has been realized once.

Cheers
