That took a real man to admit you made mistakes. This video will hopefully help others not make the same mistakes. We all have rhat mind set it will never happen until it does. Bless you brother

Canoe, outboard? Get a Gheenoe

so I might be getting a square stern canoe and I will NOT be putting my 9.9 on it. Trolling motor or paddles lol. Thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed.

Thai longtail canoes can easily do 20 mph with a 6.5 hp unmodified motor...

Nice motor but you need a real canoe! Get a 18’ Grumman or a 15’ Grumman Sport Boat !

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm on amazon ordering tethers right now...ha ha. Also, since I own a scanoe, I couldn't help but feel like I was in my boat when this happened...scary!

Many of you probably did this from those who use kayaks as a fishing tool seriously. You will probably never do this again. But there are very few people who posted such a warning report that saves the company that makes fishing kayaks from stealing our money. Thank you.

Did you crash next to the No Wake boey?

You’re a lucky man!

cool comparo, im running a 31/23 pushing a 17 Pelican squareback. I see you use the tiller extender

Oh man i feel you there buddy. I had a 7hp 2 stroke on a Indian river flat back and was way too much power. 4 appears to be more than enough too! Glad you're OK and learning from it!

Woah that was a wild accident . Just goes to show how incredibly fast things can go wrong 😟 glad you’re alright 🤙

Does the one anchor keep the boat from spinning around? Didnt know if you needed two or not

I now this is old but props for sharing. No pun intended lol. Manned up and shared the lessons learned. Ty.

My $0.02 - Is swearing ever excessive? - Not in this case.

He overloaded the Canoe over powered it he had so many things wrong going against him this isn't an aluminum boat. People think Kayaks or canoes just because it floats now they can go next to a cargo ship and put a 40HP outboard on it lucky he wasn't in a bigger lake. thanks for sharing it will educate people also always wear your vest guys. No matter how deep it is.

how much hp?

😂😂😂

Takes a bigger man to own up to a mistake.good lesson

flips near deep water....yet he is hittin bottom......so not deep at all.. hahahah click bait

Are you kidding me, you're trolling motor was dragging the whole time, number one: HORRIBLE for the transome you have the trolling motor on, and the trolling motor Number two: your speed would have increased SUBSTANTIALY, without the trolling motor dragging in the water!!!🤦‍♂️

My buddy caught a 8.5 lb bowfin close to the opening of the main lake to the right next to the rocks. 4lb test line crappie rod with a bream size hook. I love fishing the hatchery good stuff!!

Thanks for sharing this, i am new to motor-canoeing and looking to learn all i can. I went to the hardware store last night and got 2 sheets of XPS foam insulation, and i'm going to use that to make some flotation blocks for the inside of my canoe. My motor and batteries weigh about 50lb, so i used aquarium tank math to determine the dimensions of a foam block i'd need to displace 50lbs of water, thus keeping the canoe afloat if i capsize or swamp it. There are ready-made flotation bags though that the whitewater cats use, they fit neatly up into the bow. The problem with that, for motor canoes, is that we usually have ballast up from to keep the bow down, and we need the stern area clear for our gear.

I’ve only been through this scenario once, that was almost 40 years ago , I know the loss and personal pain.

why'd you stop uploading brother?

Flip the side switch on your outboard so it can flip up if it hits bottom and always be prepared to cut throttle

No need to go any faster than 5 or 6 mph in these boats, there not ment to have any thing bigger than a 3.5 hp. Im waiting for somone on youtube to put a jet motor on this boat. LMAO!!!

It was that outrageously stupid tiller extension that folded and allowed the motor to turn sharply. That is the dumbest thing ever invented. If you didn't have an extension that had a hinge this wouldn't have happened. The motor turning sharply and abruptly is what rolled the canoe.

If your gonna put that much power on a canoe at least put a really good stabilizer 🤣😂😂

Dang bro sorry fuck man you have a good soul and nice perspective and disposition I’m sure you recouped that in good karma somehow

Convert it into a trimaran and you have a winner.

Funny as hell. Not laughing at you - but with you. Here's some physics on canoes/scanoes: 1) You cannot defeat certaain Rules of Physics. They are constants. 2) maximum hull speed on a typical 17ft canoe is veryu near 6 to 7 mph, depending on the shape of the bottom, and the stern. Yours is a scanoe with a teenie weenie transom for a motor. The difference between that transom and a more common double ender is virtually nothing when Physics is applied. 3) As a canoe approaches max hulll speed, they DO NOT PLANE. Rather, they sink by the stern gradually until they become unstable. In your case, the stern squatted enough at 11mph to force the motor into the mud. 4) The faster you go, the more the stern sinks. So, don't exceed max hull speed in shallows. Get a side mount for the motor that allows you to be in a more natural driving position, and a better control position using the tiller extension. This applies to ALL canoes. The transom mounted motor is a capsize waiting to happen. In your case, you werent able to recover from the sudden change in torque due to the awkward control angle. Put it on the side and forward about three feet. You'll be very glad. To take full advantage of the power , you need a different boat, my friend. A jon, or a Grumman Sportboat, which has a real transom and can actually plane without squatting. Have fun.

It’s called a square stern! I put a 6 horse on mine and I think you would be happier with a 6 horse! Liked your video👍!

Wow took you five years to shut down that motor

2 stroke or 4 stroke? And why?

Thank you Sir for sharing this lesson! It's good seeing a fine man helping our brotherhood! Semper Fi

Dang. Thanks for showing us your lessons learned. I just added a 6hp to my coleman. I have the killswitch tethered and I don't have the knob tightened to keep the throttle in place. I'm going to keep it that way after seeing your video.

Another thing people might want to consider is, INSURANCE!!! 🙂

Always make sure everything is secured to the boat to some capacity.

Thanks for sharing this. I got a Ram X Scanoe from a buddy of mine and now just starting out to get it set up and deciding on which power to use ( electric or gas outboard) I like the speed and the 4hp seems the best fit I didn't realize it would push the boat too fast, so thanks for sharing your experience.

Just watched the video all the way through slamming door and lesson learned for sure glad your okay and hopefully you will buy a flat bottom jon

Brother what happened was you hit a log submerged in the water or drug the bottom and you were using the extension without a Killswitch you have to understand your in a small boat and any simple mistakes could flip a canoe invest in a flat bottom Jon brother thank you for sharing be safe out there

Nice to see you were more worried more about the value of the things you were losing than the water contamination that immediately caused lol..

if you were sitting closer to your motor, you would have had enough time to react to that by slowing and tilting the motor which should have prevented this from happening! Imagine that happening in a larger vessel going faster.. you need to always be prepared for these things to happen, and if you don’t know the waters well or if there’s a chance of hitting rocks or logs, proceed with caution.. could end catastrophic at higher speeds you were lucky! Thankyou for posting this, hopefully others can learn from this

Don't lock down the tilt on the outboard. It needs to be free to kick up if you hit bottom or a log.

Glad your good thanks for sharing the experience

If I had an outboard on mine I wouldve put outriggers for stability

Wrong tiller handle

I've been looking at the Bassraider but a friend is selling me their square back canoe for $50. So this looks like the better option for me. I am looking at putting outriggers on the boat, so I don't have the unfortunate incident you did. Would you think outriggers would be better forward or aft on a canoe like you have setup?

I'm sorry for your loss.
