[QUOTE="mud-skipper, post: 328059, member: 11436"] If you have some experience at Kayaks and canoes, and are a little innovative, then I need your help. I'm looking for a simple way of rigging a canoe with a homemade setup to house a 3hp Harborfreight Predator motor, mounted on a Mud-skipper 5-7hp Longtail Kit. There are several things that need to be considered. 1. The engine will be mounted behind the rear seat, and the steering handle will come alongside the driver. 2. I envisage the motor being set off to one side of the kayak. Perhaps even supported by a strut going to an outrigger? 3. The Recoil start cord will be hard to reach, if correct positioning isn't considered 4. The Outrigger Buoyancy tank could be a 4" Sch 40 pvc pipe. 5. The outrigger supports need to be easily detachable from the canoe, and fit many different styles. 6. The standard Longtail Transom Mount should be employed here. The best idea will win the kit! Post your ideas, photos and drawing here please. [/QUOTE]
