This video shows that a motor is great on a canoe. How it turns. How stable it is when mounted correctly. The lake I was on has a 5mph speed limit. SO I couldn't open it up.
What kind of canoe do you have? How long is it? How wide is it? Also what size motor are you running? Is it 2-stroke or 4-stroke? And how many horsepower? I have an old 17 foot Grumman and I’m actually picking up a 17‘ michi-craft this Afternoon. Both are rated for 5 hp. I’m brand new to this so I’m just trying to learn as much as possible. -Hence all the questions lol. thanks for your time!
Need a little 12V pump for your water bag, give it electric trim! 🤣Nice drone shots, too. I guess, do you mostly stick to the smaller lakes? i can't imagine it would be fun to hit wake from a big boat.
I have 2 pumps. They work just fine. Around here there are small lakes. I have taken the canoe where fast boats run. The canoe handles them quite good. Look up, Lake McBride in Iowa on Google map. A lot of my videos are there. I ❤️ that lake.
@@Ralphcanoeingadventures Nice, i'd love to see that! I'll have a trolling motor setup soon, i'm gonna cut my teeth on that in a small boring lake nearby and see how it goes. By the end of the summer i'll have a square stern & 6HP but i'm gonna work my way up to it.
