TEOTWAWKI Boat

Is't paddling a bit more like slapping the water...
where rowing is pulling yourself ahead ?

If you paddle your legs are going to have to make double time, once for left and once for right and... I thought you like four stroke but this is two stroke.

 

Well, it floats.

Hi,

Congratulations on a job well done.

Judging from the debris in the water that must be the Hillsborough River.

Hi,

Man, the Honda motor looks really sweet! Bet it purrs like a kitten.

It has under 2 hours on it now. Purr it does.

 

Nice!

I would have gotten a ticket for failure to display registration numbers having a motor in it!

I hope what ever your TEOTWAWKI incedent isn't too big of a deal, not sure how long you can stay out, but it's a cool little boat!

 

Bloody awesome Hoyte ! It floats in the... mud.

Where's the youtube video ! Come on, make a 2 minutes one.
Well done and I hope she gives you many pleasurable hours.
What does she feel like ?

I see there's a chain on the tank. Does it double as an anchor ?

 

Hey!

I love the tattle-tale water lines showing the load line!

GPS speed yet?

2 hours, nicely done there skipper!

What a great small craft. ... Oops, I mean Yacht!

Congratulations mate!

Well done!

Bravo!

Encoure...

 

It has all the reg numbers. I took it up to about 6 mph/10kmh for brief moments. It is very fuel thrifty with almost a full tank at the end of the trip.
There were many small water plants blown up to the shore line where the photo was taken. Not really very muddy but lots of organic matter. Outside of view were 2 2-gallon gas tanks in addition to the one shown, all minus ethanol.

 

Nicely done, and congratulations! And thanks again very much for sharing this build on the forum here.

 

Thanks, Moderator Jeff. I had a blast building it. Now I have to dream up another one.

This forum did more for me than I did for it.

I will share my findings as I grow more accustomed to the boat.

 

Gooday Hoy-hoy. SUPA - congrats - big time ! ! !

Is that a cat fish or an eel - belly-up behind the trusty fishing expadition vessel ???

Next on your list will be bbq area on the shore.

Nice project & tnx for sharing. ciao, james

 

Thanks. The catfish/eel is actually a broken branch/driftwood/water hazard.
