    Du mußt steigen oder sinken,
    Du mußt herrschen und gewinnen
    oder dienen und verlieren,
    leiden oder triumphieren,
    Amboß oder Hammer sein!“
    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    You have to rise or sink,
    you have to win to rule and serve,
    or, and lose,
    suffer or triumph,
    be anvil or hammer.

    I chose electric start to save arthritic shoulder.
    I declined electric tilt to save weight and money. :D

    Thats a lot of engine for that teeny little boat. If thrill seeking is your aim I think you nailed it. We'll see pretty soon I expect.

    As my boat nears completion I must express my gratitude to everyone who has been so helpful with their friendship, knowledge and good advice from Moderator Jeff on down to new members who have asked the kind of questions that led me to answers that I also sought. This forum has been a boon to me and I have learned much since joining in 2009.
    More photos and maybe a video or two will come later.
