⚡️⚡️⚡️
Welcome to the lightweight electric outboard derby! I will test the Mercury Avator 7.5e, the Newport Vessels NT300,  and tge ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus. In this video I take the three similar electric outboards and test them to give you on the water results and my opinion of which electric outboard is the best in category. My version of an electric outboard motor review.
I'll give you a quick run down of each individual electric outboard motor, including unique features, details, and specs. From there, we take things to the water as I test each outboard out on my fourteen foot aluminum jon boat to find the top speed produced by each 3 horsepower electric motor.
Next, I'll break down each units battery specs and show the differences between the external and integrated batteries each manufacturer uses. I'll break down full throttle run time of each electric outboard to minutes, showing which outboard can run the longest wide open. I'll also demonstrate how each outboard is set up and installed on my jon boat.
From there I'll break down the retail cost of each unit and how much run time and value you get in exchange for the retail price.
Lastly,  I'll give you my conclusion. What I like about each individual electric outboard and what I dislike. I'll present the data from the water and well as run time and cost to decide which electric outboard I believe is the best within the 3 horsepower class!

My findings and conclusions were very similar to yours regarding the Newport and ePropulsion. Great video!

Very well done video! The videography is excellent, the audio matches it, the narration is clear with expert enunciation. The metrics used for comparison are innovative. The concluding remarks are well-reasoned.

I have an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0+ and I’m happy with it so far. I use it on a 7’7” inflatable dinghy. I appreciate its light weight and easy handling. The separate battery of the Newport makes it totally unsuitable for my application.

Build your own 36v lithium or price out aftermarket and get the NT300 - love mine and have had zero issues this season. I actually like the noise, it sounds like a four stroke at times.

Anthony! great video my friend. So appreciate your approach with clear and trustworthy information! We all embrace enhancements in electric outboard motors. Even tho acceptance is probably slow with early adopters taking the motors out of the show room. But your videos are so so helpful to explain what is possible. Kudos!

[terrywolford]

Loved your review. Concise, to the point and not overly long.

Bought a Spirit a few years ago, very happy with it after 40 plus years of having internal combustion 2 and 4 strokes. Super quiet, good range and totally reliable. Most importantly finally an outboard that my wife likes to use. Will probably never buy a small OB that's not electric. Looking for a larger electric OB (around 15 to 20 hp)now for our larger tender as we mostly only use the little electric these days.

Great break down of each motor. For us we decided to go with the Mercury Avator 7.5E based on the fact that we have local dealers. I like the fact that I can walk in and deal directly when buying and was able to negotiate a better deal than MSRP. And while a longer warranty on the E-Prop seems better... if something happens with the Avator I can take it back to the dealer 15 minutes away. With E-Prop and Newport I would have to box it up and pay freight both directions. The hope is nothing ever goes wrong, but I have been reading plenty of complaints from owners having issues getting warranty repairs with some of these. If there was an E-Prop dealer locally my decision would have been much harder as there is a lot to like. The Newport doesn't work for us because we need a remote steering model. Thanks for the detailed comparison!

Greetings from Australia! Thanks for this excellent, clear and concise comparison video. It may be confirmation bias on my part but you confirmed my thinking on choice so will be buying the ePropulsion model. The price point and lighter weight are big factors for me so it's an easy choice. Thanks again.

Great video Anthony. Thank you! I’ve been shopping these for a while now, doing homework and have been ready to pull the trigger. Only thing stopping me is some technical details I need to confirm so that i can rest assured knowing this purchase will work reliably for my application.

Sadly, it’s been IMPOSSIBLE to get on a simple tech call / or learn detailed info via email from any of these brands featured. I tried repeatedly, attempting with all 3 of the outboards you featured and finally have thrown my hands up in the air. End result= all 3 have garbage tech customer service. My last effort will be this coming week at the Ft Lauderdale boat show where I will press these folks in person. Wish me luck and thanks again! Keep putting out this great content 👊🏼, cheers from Florida!

[ChannelMeadowcrest]

Nice overview and comparison, well done!

[calmauric]

Good information here! I use the trolling motors everyday 😊
- i use a 12v jarviswalker watersnake advance on my dinghy. Max speed is 5 knots. With a 100ah lithium battery it gets 1hr at full speed.
I also got a haswing protruar its slower and uses more power.😅 plus a whole heap noisy compared the the jarvis walker.

[peters]

Thank you for sharing! Good information!

[TheGreenBoater]

Good video comparing these 3 leadimg electric outboards. Hope to see some of these at The Seattle Boat show for closer look. Kudos from The Green Boater community!

[thomascrawford]

Great job and great comparison. Very good information!

[BryceLovesTech]

Great review. By the way, your video work is very impressive.

[Nitrohead]

Very cool and well done video, im a gasoline guy myself but very interesting to see what’s out there now and you did a great job testing these.

[TheTeeDay]

Can’t wait for the Mercury 35e reviews

[Iacopo]

Very nice video!! I started to follow you since the comparison of the E-propulsion and Torqeedo .. too bad i already had the Torq at the time of the video 😅😅( to be honest It still works good and does its job) since the E-propulsion turned out to be a Better choice... I was expecting much more from Mercury and hoped for It to lower the Electric outboards prices with Mass production, but this seems not happening by now.... i would love some of your thoughts or a comparison video like this for a 10 - 15 outboard ( which should be the next step of the Avator?!?) Nice work btw keep It up 💪💪💪🔥🔥

[Black-March]

It's the best of the three, there's really no competition. Best value, lightest weight, same speed as the others, biggest battery and it's quiet. There's really nothing to dislike, Torqeedo is the only real competition for it, at least for now.

[JosephMBoyer]

mercury does look the coolest. 😎 yeah spirit worth it with current price.
