that is so cool. i was wondering could i do that with my 12 ft john boat as u did.

@renton7585 Yes you could. You wouldn't need the pontoons, just put a hole in the hull for the shaft tube and seal around it, and as long as the shaft top ends above the waterline, you won't need to worry about a shaft seal at the motor.

where did you get the propshaft and running gear??? great job!

[shannonlloyd1]

@swarne8 shaft and prop are stainless steel and drilled and bolted together. The motor is coupled directly to the shaft.

About 200 hours and +-$1,200.
