| Gday to all, Just thought I would share some piccy's of one of the projects that has kept me busy while I have been absent, this little boat I built using the stitch and glue method, design was of my own and is a hair under 5 feet long, it is powered by an electric trolling motor, at the moment, lol, great little cruiser for those lazy summer days and a blast to build. It is pictured here having it's first float test in a pool I bought just for the occasion, hahaha

| There are more plans for the future, but first is to finish the Murray with Mow name and build a trailer for the boat to go behind it. | |

It's a thing alright, it's a community, lol, facebook page also. American boathead is the youtube page that sparked my interest in this venture. | |

cheers, that's the biggest issue with repowering it, I have a couple of options floating around in my head, I want to keep it eleccy and light also which is the challenge in such a small package. | |

| I guess you could add another trolling motor so they are side by side. That might add a bit more bite to it. Pretty cool little machine, came out nice. I've seen a few of those online before. For something with ridiculous power, maybe built one 2 or 3 times that size and then stuff a jet ski engine into it or something along those lines. | |
