[QUOTE="Zum, post: 195813, member: 349"] Like mentioned above,tides,current and being able to go alittle faster would be a good reason(for me) to keep an gas outboard,especially in salt water. Although the tides up here are close to 17 feet,maybe yours are alot smaller,still currents and wind can make a trolling motor seem real small. If you go the electric route,your probably going to want atleast 2 batteries,to get a good amount of time on the water. Then your still going to have to charge them,so theres still up keep. Not saying this is good but alot of clammers and wormers never take there boats out of salt water. I would keep the outboard and buy a trolling motor...best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
