    New technology replaces old ideas and practices, eh? No matter what your power source you are responsible for monitoring your own situation.

    You think the boat ramps are a mess now with unloading & loading. Wait til you guys are waiting in line to charge you batteries at the loading docks. There will be 4 charging stations cause that's all the states can afford to install. There's 300 boats on the water.

    I'll be keeping my gas engine too, but would consider for new purchases. I like the idea, but wouldn't want to get a generation 1.

    Batteries store energy, still have to have diesel and coal to make the energy for the batteries to store.

    Currently we do not have enough power generation to charge the batteries if internal combustion engines are phased out
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
