fireman 10,794 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Done that over 25 years ago on a canal between Daventry and Northamton, it worked better than you would think it would and didn't capsize even though a bunch of drunk hippy's built it..Mind you it was really hard to control and did go round in circles a lot so we tied a scaff plank between to old canoes and ratchet strapped the outboard onto that and that was loads better.. .. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
