		It is hard to compare electric and gas motors.  I belive Minn Kota had a motor they called a 3HP at one time.  I feel the big difference is in torque.  The electrics just don't have it.  There are some high thrust models coming out that run on 3 or more batteries which can move a good size pontoon boat at a good walking speed for a few hours.  I am sure someone has a formula that will show how many #'s of thrust equals 1 HP.
