Only winds over 10 mph would be a concern. I'm water and heat proof, to a good degree

Is that Venice, Alabama?

I wouldn't be able to fit a hamster wheel on the rooftop. There are bridges on the way...

I would have taken your work for it, you didn't have to put it on a scale and provide photo evidence lol :) The blades on your paddle look great, I'll almost certainly steal that idea, excluding the epoxy. Thanks a lot

Yes it definitely would. The possibilities are not endless but many.

Indeed. I will be looking into reducing the 8kg this one weights, but I won't be looking into buying anything ready made. I'll get a shaft as thin as possible so it won't break, and may increase or decrease the surface of the blades. Not sure yet.

I'm already in the business :) I may use that suggested setup for longer distances, but my aim is to paddle it as much as possible.

Hi all I made this. Still floating :)

Well, sorry for wasting everyone's time! The seller has finally replied to me, one month on, and told me the red covers have threaded caps underneath, and I have just confirmed it. It's crazy how I got the reply the morning after I posted the question here, but there you go, the aquatic life is...

Great, thanks a lot.

Great, thanks a lot. Initially I tried to upload via the "albums" thing and that didn't work. Or I didn't work.

Tragically, I am not anywhere near Florida. I'm in Britain, where not many people use these, and buying second hand is not cost-effective. I bought these new for the equivalent of just over $40 each.

Parallel to the platform, like a very poor man's catamaran type of thing.

That's an interesting reply, as it also provides information I did should have researched but didn't :) Thanks a lot for that. My payload I don't know exactly, but expect it to be not over 400 kg, and that's if I get a fat lady to visit ;) But seriously, I think the platform and cover (like a...

Well, probably not, and I will be counting on that. Not many waves on the Thames or London canal system in London, but eventually I would like to cross the Channel and take it to the Danube (dreams...) and for that the said holes may get a lot of splashing onto them. I may have the threaded one...

Thanks fall guy. I don't know about glassing and would not like this to be my first try :( but if that is the best option I will have a go. I have four extra barrels, so I can practise on them.

Hi I'm in the process of building a 3x2M (10x6ft) boat on 6 220L containers. These containers have two holes, one has a threaded cap which should be completely watertight if tightened well using PTFE tape, but the other seems to have like a peel off type of cover. I'm wondering on the best way...
