[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481383, member: 22613"] Trolling motors are made for lugging big, heavy boats around quietly at low speed. You could strap the biggest, baddest trolling motor they make onto a canoe and still only get 4 mph, they're not made for high speed. Lithium batteries and brushless motors are changing all that. There are already electric outboards on the market, but the infrastructure isn't there for them yet (not many docks have the power available to fast charge a huge battery bank), and the tech is still new enough that the cost is prohibitive.
