[black][size 3]WOW! I didn't know Mercury made a 10, I see 9's.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Okay awhile back, I had the same idea. Gas versus Battery, specially on multi days of fishing.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I bought a couple of Merc's around the 3hrsp. Great idea on paper.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]First off, there is NO neutral, which means it is either moving or off.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Trying to PULL start one while on the water is scary to say the least.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Once you do get it started, you have to spin it around real quick, cause you can't reverse the head like an electric.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Then even on the lowest/slowest speed, you are still cruising too fast to even troll.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Saw a couple of guys at Jordanell, with there new Versa Vestile, and they had 5hrsp. They flew (on lowest seting) They hated it but it got them to point B in a hurry, but from there it was rowing and kicking all the way.[/size][/black]

[size 3]Not to mention, getting hi on Gas Fumes[crazy][laugh][/size]
