Most of the time we are under 5 mph but would never want to loose the ability to romp down and fly across the lake with the speed and power of a V8. But For the times when your "just in gear" going under 5 mph it wold be cool to be able to shut off your gas motor and have these drop into the water and push you along. Almost silent operation. Pontoon boats offer lots of storage ( battery's ) to power the electric motors when the gas motor is off and when the gas motor is running it charges your battery's. Myself included have the ability for shore power so charging up is no problem. More advantages would be! Not putting hrs on your gas motor. I could easy see cutting the operation of my gas motor in 1/2 or even more. The electric motors are
small enough that they could swing up under the swim platform when not in use. And then swing down when they are needed. Another cool option would be a Remote or wireless control of the motors. Imagine being able to sit anywhere in the boat and be able to drive it with a small hand held remote.
