California hasn`t gone that way yet so it`s going to be a while.

I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

I think that the problem with anything electric is the battery. There needs to be research done on finding some other combination of elements that provides the bang for the buck as fossil fuels. If there is something that can provide electricity, with out having to store it.. then the problem is solved. I know that is asking a lot.. but I just don't think that any kind of battery solution is the REAL solution.

I think we both have the same Skeeter and I'm looking to upgrade to an Ultrex. My TM now is a 45" and seems to be just right. yes. I have the 45"/80lb with iPilot Link. It is perfect for our size boats. It's only bounced out of the water one time. It was on Hubbard in 25-30mph winds. I shouldn't have even been on the lake, but it was a tourney....so I toughed it out. It is strong enough to hold my boat, AND a friends FX21 tied to my boat, on a spot in 15-20mph winds. The motor, using 2 group 31 Optima batteries, is capable of lasting a full day of continuous use in high winds. The motor is very efficient. It even fits under the original Skeeter cover that was designed for a Maxxum 80.

If an electric outboard is feasible, California will require them soon.

I already bought a HB Helix 10" SI to pair it with.
