Thank you so much for posting this! I went in to a shop to day to put eyes on a pedal boat and it was laying upright on display on the shelf. It looked so huge I didn’t think I could fit it on my car. See you put it on your Mercedes removed all doubts! If you can, I can! I was almost going to call it quits before I found your video.
Liked and subscribed. Very impressed with your wiring in the last video and I'm blown away by the above garage door storage. Takes the practicality of owning a small boat to another level. Cause owning a boat can be a very impractical expense for most people.
Yes, no doubt, I live in a condominium so I have no place to put a boat and trailer unless I rent an additional storage space. And this set up allows me to park the cars in the garage also.
What a perfect setup you have created for yourself. That Garage door going under and over the boat is so satisfying! Oh and I love these videos, very informative, concise and easy to watch, no annoying music, etc... Next video: We see this thing in action on the water? 😃
You've done some amazing work on your peddle boat! I had a few questions - do you have any video / pics of the process where you removed the top and bottom haves? Did you silicon between them when you put them back together? I assume they were secured by the gagillion staples to increase it's water resistance? Also, did you do away with the manual (foot powered) paddles? Are they there as backup? I've always thought they would create a lot of drag if I were to put a motor in. Thanks for any thoughts!
I do not have any videos or pictures of the process where I removed the two halves. I will tell you that it is a painstaking arduous process and there are probably over 350 staples holding the two pieces together. I had to take each staple out manually with pliers and a screwdriver and I also went out and purchased a $300 staple gun to staple everything back together and if you're interested in buying it, I'll sell it to you for 100 bucks.:-) I did not silicone in between, there is some pre-existing heavy duty double-sided tape in between them and I just left it there. Never does the water get up to that height so there's no worry about it leaking. But to be safe, you could silicone in between, and that should be perfectly fine of course. I did remove the and the peddles, the paddles, and the manual Rutter in the back at the bottom of the boat. I thought it would experience drag with it, but I've noticed absolutely no change at all in the speed whether you leave them in or not. Leaving them in does serve as a great back up if your electric motor ever broke or you ran out of battery juice.
No trick at all I just take one of those Home Depot straps and throw it over the top of the boat and around the inside of the car with the doors open and then I close the doors on the strap and I'm good to go.
It absolutely positively takes on no water whatsoever and you can have three adults in the front seat and travel about 4 mph with the 55 pound thrust motor.

Good video. Whats your trick on strapping it down?

@@johnmiller9709 ok cool. I just bought the same boat for 25$. Picking it up tonight
@@Localcarpenter314 $25!!! That is pretty cool!
How is it in the water
It absolutely positively takes on no water whatsoever and you can have three adults in the front seat and travel about 4 mph with the 55 pound thrust motor.
@@johnmiller9709definitely debating going this route, kinda wanna add paddle board thrusters and see if it makes a difference
I love you your so awesome
