New to your channel thanks for letting me ride along. I haven’t looked at all your older stuff but was wondering what size, make model of engine do you run? Will it go up stream pretty good when the canoe is loaded? Thinking about doing a long trip similar to R.M. Patterson did a 100 years ago. Maybe just a pipe dream but us older guys can get stuff done. Thanks
It is a 2021 Merc. 5hp 4 stroke. The canoe will go 12.5mph. So as long as the water is running less than that. It will go up stream. I canoe alone. So I need the motor to get me back to where I started. Look at the discription on my home page. It will tell you most of the specs. You can ride along when ever you want.😀
I hope you don’t mind me asking but what is the shallowest you are able to run with the motor? I have some shallow rivers and creeks that a set up like yours might be a good option in. Thank you
@@WilliamAM43 I can run in 6" of water. The motor has an adjustment that tilts the motor about 30 degrees. In a few of my videos, it shows it tilted up.
@@Ralphcanoeingadventures Thank you very much for your response. I think this kind of setup is something I am going to look into. Hope you get out a day or two and enjoy the fall weather.
@@WilliamAM43 I was doing some thinking and measuring. I want to correct the last statement. I would say with the motor, the depth is about 10 inches. With the motor up, it will float over a 6inch sandbar.
@@Ralphcanoeingadventures Thank you, I appreciate you checking for me. That is pretty impressive, with the way things are drying up again it will be needed.
@WilliamAM43 I find that I take the canoe more than the big boat. The rivers get prity low. The main channel could get down to 3ft. in the summer. Good luck.
