Noisy, top hamper, no buoyancy aid!

So you'll be fitting one of those to Katie L? It would get that noisy Tohatsu out of the cockpit. Or just to the duck punt?

I think really you'd need a bit more speed for it to be worth the noise. You'd end up with something not dissimilar to a jetski.

Yes...lots to criticise.
eg I think an old Oppy rig would be a better power source.
BUT...... it's a fun thing to have done.

Totally agree but I still wouldn't want one. Now perhaps with an electric motor..........

Ah well, a more expensive way to power a canoe...

I think the title should read "powered KAYAK"... Sorry to be so pedantic

A couple of years ago I was ghosting along the top of Bute in no more than a breath of wind when I was passed by a family of three in an inflatable canoe, propelled in total silence by an electric outboard. It looked rather fun.

apology accepted from Mr Picky
the other day I was accused of inaccuracy by saying, in one of my films, that the smoke from a building was from kippers being smoked
of course I was utterly wrong and apologise for my sloppy standards
any fule kno that it was herrings that were being smoked
as your soul mate pointed out - kippers are herrings that have already been smoked
I myself am disgusted at the fall in journalistic standards in free videos and free forums
someone somewhere should do something
I am going to start a petition

In British English usage, "kayak" is a subset of "canoe". I think it's only the Canucks who are particularly insistent on a difference.
