Looks cool Jim, I remember when you built that skiff a few years back. One of the coolest projects ever IMO. What's the weight estimation on the aluma-yak?

Jim,

You will be disappointed with the honda 2hp. I have one and it's a pain to transport/deal with. It leaks almost every time I need to lay it down. And it's air-cooled--much louder than you would expect for a 4-stroker.

My recommendation is go with a Nissan/Tohatsu 3.5hp 2-stroke. About 22lbs, and very reliable. I have one too--and I much prefer it over the Honda. It's much easier to store (no oil to spill) and much more reliable (surprisingly).

They do sip gas, both of them.

What's your E.T.A. on the finished product? Maybe we could buddy boat for some local tuna...my legs never run out of gas
