New boat and motor with pictures and video

While i was researching motors I found comparisons between gas and electric. I was looking to see how many pounds of thrust the 2.6 hp motor would have. What I ended up finding out was there is no direct comparison between HP and Pounds of thrust. One guy did have this comparison. It takes 4400 pounds of battery's to equal 6 gallons of gas for a 5 HP motor. That shocked me a bit. That would be about 73 recharges for a series 27 battery. Gas is expensive but a dead battery takes days to fully recharge, and on long trips it is almost impossible to accomplish on primitive, and semi primitive camps. A tank full of gas in this motor costs $1.33 give or take a penny or two.
I am now looking forward to fishing Oakley Res [fishon] .
