canoe scull conversion
Home made sculling conversion for canoe. If you've ever fancied going a bit faster in a canoe, try something like this. You can still carry 3 passengers as well.

Nice conversion. I'm curious, where did you find the sliding seat rig? That seems to be the real sticking point as I work on doing my own conversion.
Hello, I’d like to try making the scull conversion rig. Do you have plans? Steve (67yrs). Manitoba
I put a fixed seat in the middle of my canoes so I can use a kayak paddle or rowing rig that is also fixed . You can only go as fast as the hull speed of the canoe anyway , as canoes are displacement hulls . Even with a motor you reach hull speed at around 1/4 throttle and even at full throttle you don't gain very much more speed . But that is a great way to mount a rowing rig on a plastic canoe . Good video .
That looks like a great idea. You should do a video in the water. Maybe I will start looking for a used exercise rowing machine to buy and do this to my canoe. I don't like paddling anymore because it hurts my back but rowing doesn't.
do you sell this set up?
Oh yeah 😎. The Mole in the book 📖 The Wind in the Willows: "There's nothing quite so much fun as messing around in boats".
Song is 🔥
Nice design but I haven't found the seat assembly that you used. Where did you get it? thanks.
To my eye that sliding seat is from a rowing machine .
You did NOT show us all of that and not put it in the water?? Shame. On. You! *Nice design too! )
That's great, thanks Jonathan. Love the backing track 😁
Very nice! I have DIY'ed a very similar rig, minus the sliding seat. Did you have to drill holes on you canoe's bottom and bolt row machine's sliding seat to canoe? Thank you very much. I would like to following your example.
Scrumm(p)y!
