The boat engine (outboard) is expensive because they need to withstand the marine environment well, so all the parts used in making one are expensive stuff. And they don't sell numerous motors all the time, so to stay in business, they need to make a profit, so the price of an outboard (boat motor) is high.

How much horsepower do I need for a canoe?
Hp size on a canoe depends largley on canoe size and purpose. If you run an 18' canoe on open water with two people and little gear 2hp is fine.
