That would give a whole new meaning to a soft launch. Hell you could just ride it home. No trailer, car topping or bed extender to worry about. It's fun to imagine.

38lbs with the fuel canister.. 20lbs + 6.1lbs per gallon of fuel... don't fish near smokers .. id go with the propane over fuel for the safety factor alone not to mention storing propane bottles in the car vs storing a spillable gas can another reason... either way id like to see what you come up with...2016 Hobie Mirage Outback Olive

Okay tounge in check. I am looking into some better deep cycle batteries. Maybe that will fix my run time.

I just really want to do something that is different then an electric trolling motor. Just think about it, the boys down on the Bayou have been running this setup for years in the form of a longtail mud motor. They use a 30-50 CC motor to push their 12-15 foot duck boats, full of decoys, dog and gear, through the mud and muck at speeds up to 8 mph. All I want to do is push a plastic yak through the waters of the bay up to 4 mph. Oh I am so doing this now.
Side question, how do I change my profile name??2017 Hobie PA14

Okay just joking on mounting it to my kayak. I'm thinking John boat. I did get the motor for free though. The gentleman has not used it in well over 5 years. So I will be doing a complete tear down and rebuild. It was built between 1952-1954 in Belgium for Evinrude and Johnson. Just thought I would share.2017 Hobie PA14
