Thinking of making a Weedeater boat engine

[likestofish]

we have this old edger that we were going to toss so i decided hey im getting a small johnboat and it looks like if a prop was attached it would work so are there any tips you guys could tell me?

I don't think it would have enough torque, but I could be wrong.

I think you would probably be better (definitely quieter!) just getting an electric trolling motor.

I agree

However you could have the first john boat that can also trim the banks. I think it would be a neat idea. Torque will probably be an issue though.

ive seen it done on youtube thought it would be a cool idea.

or you could just make a gocart thing. do you have kids? it'd be a pretty cool christmas gift or something.
