    Most excellent!

    All the commotion/propulsion behind you and no breaches in the hull...the generous use of plumbers iron straps is admirable.

    It needs two more final drive gear ratio options.

    How about an 18 sp derail set up? 3 on the peddle 6 on the hub might even turn it into an Olympic sport. I like the rigging though.

    Looks like he probably built the canoe too.

    As soon as I saw it I said you need to add boots to the paddles so it looks like it is walking on water.which then requires an mannequin to look like he is pushing the boat through the water. Very cute great idea.

    Even better than adding a mannequin, mount this guy on the back of the canoe
