The reason I mentioned no gas outboards/waverunners are because they pollute the water, don't they? There isn't an outboard out there that doesn't leach some amount of gas/oil. They also disturb/tear up some of the aquatic vegetation that support the lake's ecosystem. So if you care about the water quality at Bantam, or any other freshwater, it is something to think about. It's caring about the long-term health of a body of water.
