This is brilliant, really good job on the canoe and the video. That was one hell of a transformation, people are going to be popping in to watch this video for years.
Nice job and some good fishing as well. Like your ideas. A few led lights will light up the inside canoe in those early morning and late evening fishing trips. Adding a rubber floor mat or adding some fine sand to the final top coat of paint helps on the floor. Thanks again Fellow Fisherman here in America 🇺🇸
I'm currently obsessed with my 17' Alumacraft pontoon trimaran with an 8' x 7' platform that will enable me to fish but also take 3 people with me on lake excursions. It too will be easily taken apart and assembled by one person. It is also going to be mounted to a 1952 Ford F3 truck via 2 custom made racks. The canoe build has been eating my brain the last month and I'm stoked for it to be completed.
Great job and love the run through of what you did and why. Have been thinking about customizing an old canoe myself as I think they're a better option for me than a yak, so your canue restoration and modification has heled me no end.
Really well done Andy. Load more satisfaction doing this yourself. You are spot on with the motor. I put a 24lb on our tandem and can run it on low speed but high near rips it out the mount. What brand and model was your battery?
This is an amazing vid Andy, great work! How far have you come since you made that poo owl at school!😂 you should do a fishing/camper next, you’ve got all the skills Very, very neat bit of kit 👍👍👍👍
Awesome set up well done. You mention the size of engine due to it slipping off with to much power, could you not countersink the screw clamps slightly into the wood, that way it couldn't slip once tightened down into the same size recess hole? Just a thought cheers
Wow very nice job mate I'm interested to do this modifications to my canoe,,you should have a 300 wat solar panel up front charging your battery pvc pipe canopy the solar panel can go on top for shade 😎 😉
I like and going use some of your ideas. I have to thank you, so hard to find canoe ideas, search canoe and get kayak with that said I have a 15.6 foot canoe and just thinking of putting a floor in, and out with the plastic seats to lower and put in swivel back rest seats, I have 30 lb thrust mini kota and it gets, now the question is what floor material did you use. I'm very handy with wood and have a great idea what thickness a board or plywood support it can handel but again it can get heavy with a load. My canoe weight rated at 800 pounds a real tag on the canoe. I can and would make things removable like you have done.
Nice job and finish. Though you have outriggers, note that this boat looks overloaded (not much between the gunnels and water) and you’re pretty vulnerable if any of those outriggers deflate. I don’t mean to sink your ship so to speak, but I don’t think this is particularly safe for what you might come up against. FWIW I fish from boats, canoes and kayaks.
Sailboatstogo makes high quality stabilizers with marine grade aluminum square tubes, hard plastic stabilizers, aluminum clamps and stainless hardware. Those are $250. Mine came with my canoe sailboat kit. I've yet to flip the boat while sailing despite my best efforts. They're awesome for motoring or fishing too. Imho worth the extra $100 over these inflatables

I'd be interested in seeing that. Please post a short video.
@@hunker1982 It's coming along a step at a time. Bamboo outdoor decking is going on now for the platform.
Plenty of great ideas. Thanks for sharing, will def use some of these ideas on my canoe 😎👍
That’s awesome cheers mate

That’s awesome mate 👍 they’re good for the space they have in them for sure
I really like how clean everything looks. Gonna apply some of what you shared to simplify my setup. keep it up Thanks
Nice one Andy! Such a handy man... Be careful, Bec might start giving you some more projects that stops you going fishing :)
Haha
Great modification. I like it. Good perch.
Awesome, just awesome..! Thanks for sharing.

Also, are those battery/battery box setups plug and plug when it comes to the ports on top?
Cheers mate, yeah it does the job ! It’s an XTM from bcf

Definitley could do that mate with a bigger motor 👌

Hey mate I love it, how long is it
Nice work!
Cheers mate !
Nice.
That's nice that's how I want to do mine and add lights, I'm a River Rat - I chase Flathead Catfish!!
Nice mate ! Canoe is good fun way to go fishing
Those pontoons are $30 on Temu.
That is not a canoe. It's is a boat!
Fl just ruins this kind of stuff bc of the registration laws
A hundred and fifty dollars for a few piece of pipe and blow up toons. That seems like it’s over priced.
Then make one
