- In this video I show how to mount a light weight 1.2 hp Gamefisher gas motor to the back of a roto mold Kayak with starting, steering, and throttle control up front.

This is Paul at his best, messing around with old and leftover stuff and making things work. Very inspiring and great fun, thanks!
Always my favorite challenge, making stuff with the junk you've got! Love it.
You could get away from the police if you were on the run Paul.
I have the exact same 1.2 motor. Use SeaFoam in the gass. It stablizes the gass + keeps the carb clean. And always use non-ethanol gass.
That looks terrifying and fun all at the same time! I've had a couple of those tiny outboards... Boy are they picky sometimes. Glad you got it sorted out!
Neat! Id love to do this, but the game warden would burn me like a hot dog dropped in the campfire. Stay safe!
a new paul video, always a treat 😊
Thank you Lolo...
I used a trolling motor for mine and outriggers for stability. Good job Paul.
Please do a small house boat project! Thank you for sharing!
I would if I had room to store it after the build. It sucks living in a suburban neighborhood, in that regard.
Another brilliant build and video Paul. Speed ❤️ your joy and laughter, maybe a couple little outriggers could help stabilise it so you don’t end up in the water.
I've thought of attaching one of my old Coro pontoons to the side. Just might do that.
That looks loads of fun with plenty of scope to playaround optimising, great work dodging those wooden torpedos 👍
Excellent job 👍🏴🇬🇧
All Paul vídeos matter!!!
You are the coolest man on TH-cam i love your cool builds fun cool amazing stuff. I would love to have some of your builds.❤
that steering bar... yeah, some adjustment. best of all i'd like to see you make outriggers for it, just to see what you would make. it would be interesting.
Wow!! That motorized kayak is pretty Zippy!! Awesome!! 1.2 HP Dang!!!
The hydrodynamics and the long length of the hull really help to make it scoot along, even with little power.
7 to 8 knots, not too shabby at all Paul. That's a nice little motor for something like that 👍
Reminds me from a scene in the movie Yogi Bear (2010) in the scene where Bobo drives a canoe with a motor screwed on the back. With Yogi water skiing from behind.
I just rewatched the scene. It wasn't screwed, it was roped on.
Just awesome!
Another fun and practical build, thanks Paul!
Haha that’s awesome!!
Cool setup
Looks like so much fun!
Paul … Excellent job on the kayak!!! I was concerned about stability but you proved that if you stay reasonable, you shouldn’t have any problems. Can’t wait to see it again. Wishing you and your wife the happiest of Thanksgiving holiday seasons!!! Take care, be safe and God bless!!! Chuck Knight formerly from Buffalo, Texas and now from Atascocita, Texas. ✝️👨🌾🙏🎅🖖
Well, that definitely looks like fun! Very cool! 😁👍
😊
Elkins you genius
As always keep enjoying yourself Paul
Ohh heck yeah!
Aw man, I love these videos......
Great stuff.
That's pretty cool👍
Awesome build, I just acquired an old game Fisher 1.2 which appears to have a bad condensor, seems very difficult to find the exact condenser. I’m gonna try to modify it with an old Johnson condenser.
I've got a pelican catch 120 that I've mounted something like your base to it. I've considered putting my 2hp onto it as my electric has a BIG battery that shifts my C.ofB. more to the rear than i like.
Definitely moving it along nice with a1.2,pretty amazing! Any chance you can put a 5 horse on your next video?
I've thought of trying my 3hp Tanaka, but I was getting wet in fairly calm waters with this little guy, so I'd have to add a spray skirt. A stabilizer would also help with tipping and underwater encounters.
❤
Cool 👍
Biden. Give this guy some tax credits and a grant for R&D
Nice job.
Electric might give a more pleasant ride, quieter anyway.
Two kayaks side by side as a catamaran should be more stable and have room for a friend.
Great project, thanks for sharing.
Much easier to mount the motor on the side, no steering mechanism required, easier to clean weeds off prop. 10:05
Thanks for sharing the fun project Paul and ride, lots of smiles per dollar on that one.
Btw, I have some friends here in Oregon by the name of Elkins who do a lot of crazy projects too, some of which fly, and I was wondering if they might be some kin?
💪👍👍👍
Not just motorized, but you were hauling ass bro.
What if a whale breaches and lands on you?
Whale then he'll be in deep water
It's a risk I'm willing to take. I can always swim away, as long as it's not a hungry Orca.
top speed?
This is OK
That thing has a 3 cup fuel tank and probably gets great fuel mileage
indeed it does, and it's only 15 pounds. As long as I run it dry before storing I can start it years later with no problem, unlike a battery that powers a trolling motor.
trimarang be better
