Hi I am looking for a small engine, initially for my tender and after as reserve on small sail boat. I think this would be ideal.
Thanks

Wish you hadn't written that. Has been on my mind now for a while. About four bags of concrete in the bottom for ballast.....

Stay tuned....

It's dooable!

This engine now sold, less the wheelie bin.

Would be something like out of Dr Who. Imagine 10 or more wheely bins with seagull motors on the water.... an entry into the guinness book of records?


There must be a lot around with broken hinges etc. Join two together at the top, lay over, cut out the top.... instant boat

A job for HA.....

Come on Hugz, share the pictures...

Great idea! You could call it the "Wheelie-boat"!!

And it should be possible to 'plastic weld' the centre join, posible with some ally plate as reinforcing.......

...and the built in wheels would enable easy launching.....in fact, if you attached a sort of boomkin to the bow, and attached a towball receiver to it, you wouldn't need a trailer at all..!!!

Hugz might be onto something here!

Come on, H-A, it's a challenge!!
