Just be aware that if you are at an electric only lake and you have issues with ur electric motor( broken pin, dead batteries, ect., ect..) its not gonna be a problem to start up the gas motor to get back.....We've done it a few times at MC when a storm has popped up outta no where....The guy at the shack there says its fine in an emergency as long as ya don't go full throttle....
The only place that I know of that its an ABSOLUTE no no , is Manasquan res...
Where at least they used to make you take off ur gas motor prop...Have not been there in quite a while so I don't know if that still applies.....
