Thanks to all who responded to my question regarding the utility of
gasoline vs. electric trolling motors. The consensus appears to be that
gas outboards are much more powerful. I have a Johnson 2hp that needs
work - I quess I'll try to get it going before I buy a trolling motor.
But who knows - I may buy a trolling motor too, as I have a deep cycle
battery and box that I can use for this purpose.
