We plan on putting this thing in average alberta lakes using the launch etc. maybe we will someday graduate to a over like the NSR or Athabaska.

My question is, do I need both little motors? Or am I just complicating things for myself. If I only keep one of the smaller guys, which do you recommend?
I have both on my boat. I must say that I use the gas kicker much more than the electric so if I had to choose one it would be the gas. The gas can allways get you home and depending on your kicker might be able to charge your battery as well.
