Oh I agree, GAS, but they go a little to fast to troll with which some do. The smaller ones have a nice gas tank built into the motor and as you say, lighter.
We have the 5 HP with external gas tank. The motor weighs about the same as a battery, but it is possible for me to pack it to the water, but the battery isn't a big deal for me.
Another problem is, we turn the head around on electrics to pull us, can't do that with gas unless you keep turning the whole motor around. And a lot of the smaller ones are either off/on-go with no idle.
Then top it off with the price of 10 to 12 batteries, which at three years is 30 years at least. I should be so lucky to still be doing this...LOL
And as your article states....4STROKE is the way to go.
