Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about these motors, got an 11ft pirogue that this would be perfect for if it is as good as there website says

I stopped by their booth at the Wings over the Prairie Festival in Stuttgart, AR a few years ago. It is a "bicycle" handled Stihl weedeater (the kind with a hoop handle that requires a shoulder strap) with a little modification, that’s all. The only thing that is not Stihl on it is the prop. It looked fine for what it is. The one thing that made me a scratch my head was their "one pin connector"(or whatever they call it). It looked like PVC or some other plastic that had been milled, but I guess you really wouldn’t need much more to hold 2 hp.

thanks for the input, i think i might just build my own if thats all there is to it. only thing i am worried about is finding a small enough prop for it

Shane's a real nice guy and he's local to me, used to work with my mom. i have seen one of his boat/motor combos in action and it looked like it did very well
