just had an idea... tell me if you've tried it, but try a slightly bigger prop? with the power of two drills you should be allot faster!! :)
-
what happens if you accidently pop the boat with the propeller
-
@RaymondCorrigan what about making a plywood boat? 50-100$ and you are ready to go!
-
Might have to try that, Thankyou.

Great idea! what really was cool was the using of cement mixer propel, and with a powerful electric motor enaugh...say 300-500 watts, it would work better than ok. By the way, If you get that kind of propel for a give away price of 20 bucks (15 euros), develope your kit and start making business and export them to europe. In here, you cant get any kind of propel under 60-80 euros, not to mention electric outboard building kits.

Yeah I had the same problem in Japan, they wanted ridiculous prices for everything. Might have to look into monetising it! But an American guy told me that they can get an outboard motor with 12v battery at Wall Mart for $100.

No reverse?

Didn't seem as powerful for some reason. In retrospect I probably just put the propellers on the wrong way around.

why would you pay $180 for something that goes slower than rowing? spend the money on a new hobby?....

I already had the boat and drills, so it only cost me $40. Like I said, this is proof of concept. I'm still keeping my eye open for some 36v drills, which would provide 3-4 times more power and be more useful.
