Hey FF,
I to have done a lot of both, electric and gas, trolling at Willard. I found very little difference. I used to think that the electric would catch more just because it was so quiet. But because it's pretty much pooped out by 3-4 hours, I just stick with my 6 hp gas. But I found that letting my lines WAY out, the scare of the motor has long gone by the time my lure comes through. I also believe that with the lines way out, the fish circle back in about that time. Also, that leaves my electric as a backup in case my crappy 2-strok dies.
