High pitch trolling motor prop for solar boat

Those are nice looking canoes. The 18 has considerably more capacity. By the time you cut an old canoe, fabricate an extension and figure how to glue the three pieces together, you can build two new canoes in plywood. If this is for a race only, lower quality plywood is OK.

 

I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving, and being patient with my crazy ideas.

What you said about being able to build two has me thinking. The dragon canoe looks fairly simple to build. I like that you can build it in sections and bolt them together, because a 30 foot canoe would be very hard to transport.

So what if we build the full 35 foot dragon. This would make the solar panel placement very easy. We could build it in two 17.5 foot sections, for easy transport and bolt them together.

Would the 35 foot dragon be efficient we could down size it if needed, but it says 350 pounds dry. It seems much lighter than the other boats I've looked at.

 

This is a photo of the 30' canoes we built in the UK. They unbolt in the middle and stack up in a 15' trailer

 

Looks sweet! Any opinion on the dragon boat design?

 

This design is the one I'm looking at. I would probably put a transom at the back too.
