Ya I talk to someone who has used that little motor he loves it
But only if one can afford it its well over a thousand $$
be better to buy a little 2.5 hp with a built in tank they run for ever and not need to charge them in the woods

i saw that motor last year at the boat show..it was just beside bij jim fishing pool.

nice motor but yes expensive.

i love my 1,2hp tanaka air cool that weight like 6 pound and actualy smaller then that motor.

but it sher is cool.

Neat little boat!Kinda heavy i think?Maybe a full aluminum version would be light enough to carry?

a .d.i.y version.

With respect to remote waters I'd have to disagree. When you're hiking up to two hours into a lake, you're looking ot minimize the load you have to carry in. At 75lbs this unfortunately does not fit the bill. You can get kevlar canoes that weight half that. If there's any serious hiking involved, 15lbs is probably the max you'd want to consider for your watercraft. Don't forget that you have to haul in all of your other gear as well.

those not to be walking to be remote..can be going there wit a 4weeler and a trailer like a lot are doing now..so this is good to bring insted off a small 14 ffoeter or reg canoe.

not talking walking remote here..becasue if you are walking..sher not talking about bringing a boat on your back..

if you walk...better get a inflatable tubes or something like that..becasue even that kevlar canoe is way to big to walk around whit.wen you say hiking........no boats is the way to go...get some waders or inflatable.

Couple of small lakes that I have been able to access with a small 11ft aluminum and a contraption I made out of a couple of mountain bike tires. I walk it through the woods like a wheel barrow. Fill it up with a battery, trolling motor and fishing equipment. Up and down hills and through thick bush. A little sweaty but it works! (And I am WAaaay out of shape! ... well... a pear IS a shape technically...)

I would not want to walk more than an hour with it, but the rewards were awesome!

I would love to give building a punt a try. A nice little 8 foot boat would be an awesome welcome addition to my little stable!

It is the shed... I will take one tomorrow for you joco! It is not impressive-looking but it works! (Kind of like me!)

Joco when you get a chance go to MEC (mountain equipment coop)on richmond rd. They have several wheel set ups for canoes! Some of them fold up real nice so you can bring them in the canoe with you!
cheers

hey jiggy and joco

go to bushtakah they have the wheels for alot cheaper then MEC.

i bought some this year, and they worked awsome on the canoe, i was able to pull my canoe, with 2 deep cycle batteries, my trolling motor, and all my fishing gear, with no problem!!!


hey jiggy i think i hear them hills calling our names!!!
