All of Puget Sound, the mouths of the rivers that flow into it, all of skagit and Columbia and several others require a registration for ANY gas powered motor... Sucks but true
That weed eater motor is awesome. FeathR- I have a little mahogany 1x4 that would work for building up the combing. I handle wood products for a living and am in Tacoma also. We've been hoarding it for project wood. PM me if you'd like to take a look at it.I run a 3 hp 2 stroke nissan on my little duckboats. It'll do circles around the same boat with a 55 lb thrust electric. Other than power, the electric will leave you hanging when you need it most. Getting back to the ramp when the weather/wind/waves turn on you. It's the closest I've ever come to making the paper.
I have had my Minn Kota 44 mag camo for 10+ years in salt and have had no problems. You should bring oars to.. The tides will drain the battery fast in the currant. Just have oars for back up. I had to do this many times. Good luck
