i kind of like it. those are some industrious little swamp critters. It sounds as if they're about to be eaten by cicadas.

I could imagine casting an iron, and peddling backwards to get some line out and some distance and then getting a great long retrieve.

I noticed that he mentioned the first unit they built had a driveshaft to the prop. I would be interested seeing that configuration. I like that idea also /bing. Get that prop to the rear of the kayak someway and get a little ground clearance. I get Mad's deal with it too. Who the heck wants to lay on their back with their feet in the air while pedaling. The one guy in the video kept trying to extol the virtues of laying that seat back real far to pedal.
I'm intrigued by the setup though.

Way too many moving parts. I was looking for the guy to drop the cotter pin as he was trying to get the drive locked in. Once you have it mounted cool but then you have to put that cover on. Like to see them try getting in and out of surf. I prefer my Mirage Drive as it is one peace only and can be flush to the hull. I'd like to see how that thing handles the weeds. The mirage drive cuts thru it pretty good.
Good idea but needs some work.
