*ALSO SEE PART 2*
This is a homemade engine powered canoe. The canoe is powerd bij a 5.5HP Honda motor from a lawn mower. I applied a gearbox on the motor so I can put the canoe in forward, neutral and reverse. For the steering I made a rudder wich I can operate with one hand, when I push my hand forward the canoe turns left, when I push my hand backward the canoe turns right.
How the engine and gearbox work is described in PART 2.

@Prototheria 4 жыл бұрын

I'm willing to bet it's just a lower unit from an outboard bolted through the bottom of the hull with the cavitation plate flush with the bottom of the hull. There's probably a pulley on a cut down input shaft, and the shifter he had there is directly above the drive and connected to the shift rod for the gear change. This could be scaled up with something like a v-twin vertical engine (Honda, Predator, Kawi, Kohler, ect) and a bigger lower unit from an outboard with a similar HP rating to whatever engine you're using.

I grew up in South Louisiana and these kinds of boats were everywhere. Mostly they were wooden versions of a standard johnboat or aluminum flatboat and they were called Putt Putts. I did see a pirogue once set up that way which is similar to a canoe, but mostly flatboats. They were very common and this was in the late 60s and throughout the 70s. I've since moved. They were cool back then and I love seeing one again.

@wwmeades 4 жыл бұрын

There are people here in northern minnesota who use a attachment to the canoe in the stern seating area that you can operate a small outboard engine with your right hand. The attachment is a clamp on to any canoe. Some canoes up here have a flat stearn for such a purpose. Some lash two canoes together.

Anyway, BRAVO!
