Florida has about 7800 lakes Many are HP limited to 10 or 20hp. Few are electric only Look upp the county you are going to, look up the local FWC page for that county Also, a list of some non motorized lakes can be found on the national Forest service page here. https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/florida/recreation/wateractivities/?recid=70792&actid=79
