Pt 2 $25 DIY Kayak Paddle Drive

This is my experiment in building a kayak paddle drive under $25. Will find out how well it will work in about a week. I will share the build process in this video series and also where to get the low cost components to build this drive. The 1st proto-type weighs 3 lbs.
Part 2, details about the construction of the 1st proto-type.

You are creative is finding different usage for the materials you have!

Yes, I always look into reducing the cost in building boats. Using the 2nd hand crutches is an inexpensive way to get quality aluminum tubing.

Looking good so far. Can't wait for the rain to stop here also.

I am heading out to the river today. The water level is so high and there are flooding in some places near the river. Will have an update this weekend. Cheers!

Looking forward to see how things go.

I don't expect it will move the boat very fast. Imagine if I wear the fin and push the boat with that small movement on the fin. I will most likely adding the arm to the assembly after the 1st water test. I will find out in a few day! Cheers!

I grew up on the Barnegat bay, I had a boat before I had a bicycle, one of the first things I learned was how to scull with one oar off the transom, I have used the rudder of a sailboat to scull out of a calm. Im very interested to see how this works midship

[@DIYUSA]

Will find out how well it works in a few days. I do have 'plan B' if it is not good :-)
