      Here’s the hull framed up with the motor installed. Unlike my associate at the pond, I’m using two 6V 4.5 cells, which neatly fit along side the motor at center of the boat. Even though I’ll be running at 6 volts (unless I find a speed control that handle 12 volts and 80 amps) I’ll still get reams of torque to handle any towing job neatly wrapped in a 30′ bu 8′ hull. Check out my album for the complete build log.

      Yes. I do have that thing where I’m doing one project, then drop it to act on another idea. I’ll do this one, promise!

         An M6 connector fits nicely onto the shaft of the starter motor
