It is exceptionally well suited for fishing/trawling. Can go @2 kn for 15 hours or so on one charge.

I thought seriously about that. I have an 8 hp Selva, presently inop, but could be brought back to life. Leave that on the rail for times when long range/high speed is needed, and Torqueedo for the type of duty (non-planing) which the Mercury does.


it actually makes a lot of sense. Sell the Merc and buy one of those.
