Gas motor on Canoe

[HookJaw_Brimhall]

I grew up fishing out of a good friends scanoe. For years we used the electric trolling motors and we always had to take 2 batteries and by the end of the day they would both be dead. He switched to a 6hp Johnson a few years ago and it made all the difference in the world. Electric trolling motors can't control you very well in the wind while a gas motor does very well. A trolling motor plus a good deep cycle batt will cost me at least $200 and that's what I'm looking to spend on a gas motor. So I'm pretty set on getting a gas motor, but thanks for the advice anyway. They both have pros and cons, but I like having the power and control better.
Thanks for all the input []
