Sure; and a luxury car is great for long trips but overkill for trips to the local grocery.

For two of us shrimping a couple times a year my electric is a reasonable choice price, functionality and storage considered.

Now, if you are shrimping more days and with more folks in the boat (given the max 4 pots per boat) you will need to pull and re-set a lot faster so a gas unit might make sense.

One additional thought; with an electric you don't have to worry about ethanol in the gas......
