    Craig definitely won, he actually turned his motorcycle in to a boatercycle (motorcycle powered boat) now being put into full scale production called the Yamaha Barge.
    All shawn did was hauling a well decorated motorcycle on some paddle boards XD.
    Good job on making a funny build up to an underwater recovery, better to get it out of the environment later than never! Doing some well needed service protecting our environment.

      First thing I thought was combine the two ideas, Craigs power plant on Sean‘s flotation device(but with a good rudder), even double the boards and double the bikes onto one boat; really see if you can get that thing going!

      the issue with the barge is it just has to much drag and unless they foam fill the bins there is a lot of potential to take on water. A hybrid of the 2 would be cool to see. The paddleboards work well and have low drag...... all that being said Craig does have the potential to be out "Boatercycling ©" for a lot longer than the batteries probably have to offer.

    One of my favourite things to watch as a kid was a show called scrap heap challenge which basically consisted of two opposing teams (of engineers) who are tasked with designing and creating some sort of crazy machine and then putting them to the test at the end. This video totally reminds me of that show. I think you should shoot a video where you have to create a functional bike when only supplied with a small 125cc engine, tools and a big open scrap yard.

    solid foam, metal pipe, epoxy paint to coat it once assembled, build pontoons center of mass and elevated so it can't flip and clamp the frame to the bike frame so the rear tire touches the water just under the hub, set up a double fin behind the wheel to direct the water flow for steering, also add an engine snorkel for the crankcase and intake to be safe and silicone your terminals

A little over 5,000 miles when I got it 4 years ago and ride it all summer since. Yup, you can find good bikes for under $1,000 if you look and get lucky.
