    Happens that I have the exact same Stand-Up Paddleboard from Costco, and have a place right by the Indian River Lagoon with nearly the exact type of water terrain you were navigating. I just ordered that motor, and we'll see if I can replicate your success! Thank you so much for this example!

    Velcro the cooler to the paddleboard. That will add stability to the "seat" but be easy to remove.
    Another option is a small electric trolling motor (30 pound thrust about 15 pounds) with a 50ah lithium battery (about 12 pounds). This is perfect for electric only ponds/lakes.

    Aloha from Hawai'i Joe. I LOVE your idea, and what you have done with this simple paddleboard. I own a SOLO Skiff, and I love it BUT I have a bad back injury, and 4 surgeries later I have a substantial lifting limit, and my SOLO Skiff bone dry and empty weighs in at 150 pounds. My 6hp motor weighs another 60 pounds, and fuel, and safety equipment along with fishing tackle I am pushing close to 400 lbs. When I bought my SOLO Skiff 5 years ago it was $1800.00. Now they are close to double that. I almost forgot, I have to trailer this thing to a launch ramp, and pay an annual ramp use fee to the State of Hawai'i. I do allot of freediving spearfishing, so I just might have to get me one of these, and start out using it as a dive platform, and maybe add an outboard mount. I already own a 3hp Tanaka aircooled motor which would work fine when I get to that step. Mahalo nui for the inspiration.

      I think I just found my platform to build a wing in ground effect with hydrofoil.
      A really good start is pumping it full of helium instead of air. Party balloon helium is cheap.
      I also have a couple of ideas on how to use the hydrofoil as elevators and rudder while airborne.
      Carbon fiber is the new fiberglass. It's just as cheap and easier to use now.

    Great ideas/build! That's awesome. About the only thing I would've done differently is used furniture grade (already colored) PVC pipe for the whole motor mount frame. Furniture grade PVC comes in like a dozen different colors, including the usual pipe fittings so you could've made it in different sections to relatively match the colors on the board. Because it's made for outdoor furniture it's much more UV resistant than even painted regular PVC. You could also use "T" fittings to install rod holders, camera mounts, or even some sort of grab/leaning bar (also with rod holders) across the board. I would've also used the same furniture grade PVC for the motor mount but put thick pieces of HDPE (plastic cutting board material) for mounting the actual motor. Lightweight but super strong, no wood splinters (it is an inflatable), waterproof, already colored, etc. You could even make it so the PVC frame can be taken apart to more easily fit in a car.
    But otherwise...wow. That's awesome! Great job!

    One thing I was thinking is add a rudder to the motor right above the outlet. That way you have some steerage without the motor pushing. Maybe drill a small hole thru the clamp and I don't know pin the clamp so it doesn't tilt unless you take the pin out, look for a really thin locking pin. Loved the paint job, now just add the milk crate possible box and you are Kayak-ish.

    Nice little skiff you've built. One thing that could be done to make it even more portable would be to make the engine mount a little more collapsible by using paint poles that extend rather than the long 2x4's. I think the one I've got extends to about 10 feet (not that you'd need it that long). The main pole is fiberglass, and the secondary pole is aluminum. It's probably stiff enough for what you need. I could see drilling holes in the transom/motor mount for the poles to fit into to provide a connection. Of course, the rod holders would need to be reworked. Anyway, just a thought.

    I really like this setup and the price point is so affordable. Portability is obviously great. I see all of the comments offering suggestions on improvements. First gen looks pretty good though. Swivel seat on cooler mounted to the rails would be a good start? Or maybe even make it able to slide forward and backwards as you add or remove weight with a pin system? But I thought it looked pretty comfortable. Maybe you could throw a short piece of pvc pipe inside that rubber tube tiller to give it some rigidity? I'm not sure how far you can go (or would try to go) on that gas tank, but it holds such a small amount of fuel, you could always throw a little refill on there without adding hardly any weight. Looks like a blast. Thanks for posting it.

    That's pretty cool. I think I'd go with a an electric trolling motor instead of a gas engine. A trolling motor is quiet and can be used while fishin'. You've got me thinking about getting one and a motor. I live in Virginia and I'd have to register it to put any kind of motor on it, but that shouldn't be too expensive. That board could be awesome around the marshes for redfish and trout. On calm days it should be okay around the bridge tunnels. But I do wonder about hooking it or poking a hole in it. And keeping gear on it might be tough. But it's so cheap I might have to try it.

    • @JoeOceanside

    You need limit pins on your rod holders, you're going to lose a rod... just take the bases off, cut a slot in them, just use a table saw set to 1.5" a cut out one edge. Reinstall them with the slot facing outwards, then put the rod holder in with them in your trolling position and put a screw in so it can't turn back anymore but can turn forwards when running.

      That's gonna depend on the state. Cut 2" off of it and it wouldn't need registration in my state while its current length of 10'2" requires registration, motor or not. Registration is based on length here so the very common, in my state, Grumman 15' canoes need to be registered but a 9ft solo canoe you clamped an electric canoe motor to the side of the hull wouldn't need to be registered.

    This gives me an idea... I wonder if a (largish) water pump could be used to pump water in the opposite direction that you want to travel in. And some kind of tiller handle points the output hose in that direction.
    For example, a 'trash pump' that does 264 gallons per minute (4.4 gallons per second) is only about $180.
    But it's not a boat motor... it's a water pump. I don't think water pumps require registration.
    I don't know about the physics of this kinda system.

    • @JoeOceanside
      @JoeOceanside  Месяц назад +1

      Yeah, it's basically the same thing as a Jet Drive. A Jet Drive has an impeller just like a water pump. It's just that with a water pump every inch of hose or pump from the intake to the discharge creates loss of efficiency.
