That's killer. How did you get parts for the shaft? like bushings and seals etc.. |

Solo, that is great. I daydream periodically about building my own. Do you have any plans which you can post? Also what does it weigh? I am thinking of putting a motor on a square back 17 ft. aluminum canoe I have and wondering if this may be a viable matchup. |
