How a motor handles on a canoe.

[@rootwad]

Need a little 12V pump for your water bag, give it electric trim! 🤣Nice drone shots, too. I guess, do you mostly stick to the smaller lakes? i can't imagine it would be fun to hit wake from a big boat.

I have 2 pumps. They work just fine. Around here there are small lakes. I have taken the canoe where fast boats run. The canoe handles them quite good. Look up, Lake McBride in Iowa on Google map. A lot of my videos are there. I ❤️ that lake.

@@Ralphcanoeingadventures Nice, i'd love to see that! I'll have a trolling motor setup soon, i'm gonna cut my teeth on that in a small boring lake nearby and see how it goes. By the end of the summer i'll have a square stern & 6HP but i'm gonna work my way up to it.

Check out my video of wave riding. That shows big waves.

What kind of canoe do you have? How long is it? How wide is it? Also what size motor are you running? Is it 2-stroke or 4-stroke? And how many horsepower? I have an old 17 foot Grumman and I’m actually picking up a 17‘ michi-craft this Afternoon. Both are rated for 5 hp. I’m brand new to this so I’m just trying to learn as much as possible. -Hence all the questions lol. thanks for your time!

Forgot to mention both my 17 footers are aluminum
