[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 499793, member: 32426"] Good point, CRS. At some point we’ll see a wattage limitation tacked on to the electric only. WA already has a 250W limit for powered boats under 16’ that do not require registration. It was 10 hp until recently. You can‘t do much with 250W. Even a little 35 pound thrust trolling motor could exceed this. Also, in WA you cannot have gas or diesel motor on your boat when navigating an electric only lake. Personally, I think ”No Wake” for small lakes makes more sense than limiting propulsion methods or power. [/QUOTE]
