I am interested in seeing the performance when you add 2 more adults onboard.

Will we get a review on the new Mercury 9.9hp By the way Awesome review on the 35e Can’t wait to see what Mercury can achieve in the future Love the videos

This test is invalid as motor height is extremely wrong, I don't even know how mercury allowed you to do this haha

Great video. Cheers! Unfortunately, these higher-end electric motors are not very cost effective or practical for us average boaters. Nowhere near. I have an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus that I use as a kicker/trolling motor on a 16' Lund, but my main motor is a Honda 20HP that gets the boat up on plane immediately, can cruise nicely at 15-18 mph, and just sips gas. I doubt that the motor featured here could approach that kind of performance with this boat, and the purchase price with power start and tilt comes in at just under $4000 (US).

Yeah, I appreciated your assessment. Just thought I'd add some of my own real-world experience with electrics vs petrol... @@FishingMonthly

In the interest of conserving space can you run the 35e and 20e without the junction box and plug the external battery directly into the motor?

@FishingMonthly

I think only the 20e

A long way to go before anything for a fisherman. Do these have solar charging capability?

I think that portable solar won’t put a dent in the requirements for daily use.

I’ll be keeping my Go-Devil Surface drive.

So in Norway it's 15000$ USD... For a 9,9 electric motor.... Unsure if that includes one or two batteries

Is that a plastic prop or metal prop? Looks cool

Some sort of composite. Not metal.

Price and range is a joke .. but give it at least 10 years of development

If my lake doesn't allow gas motors is the price and range still a joke?

I am doing research on electric motors for that reason. Just wondering if there is a better option

I’ll keep my hp500

4000 dollar trolling motor

What are the dimensions of the battery?

What about salt anyone who fishes salt water knows how destructive it is to anything mechanical- electrical not for me.

So your outboard isn’t mechanical - electrical? These are Salt water warranted but still not in a price ballpark for everyday applications.

I understand what you’re saying but Minn Kotas and motorguides have been living in salt water for years and they are pretty reliable

That made zero sense buddy

Is all PR. Too much drag with a boat and battery weight.

No one has done a side by side with a gasser. 35e is 4.9hp at prop at what rpm? A 9.9 running 5500rpm with 2:1 gear box will turn prop at 2500rpm and will plane a lot of small boats. This boat was not on plane

No thanks!

No thank you.

​​​@@FishingMonthlywhy not row the boat? No charging and no big batteries all over the place, and it won't cost 15000$
