Good job. But I must tell you when it comes to propelling a kayak the KISS rule applies. The more electronics you introduce on the water the more problems you will have. Electronic speed controls and motor drives will fail , if not from stress when prop gets fouled with weed or shallow water , corrosion will destroy them. I learnt this the hard way doing what you have done. In the end I fitted an off the shelf 12Volt brushed motor, 50 lb thrust , steered the kayak with the oars , fitted marine grade circuit breaker in case of prop fouling. No more problems, easy to maintain. Keep it simple on the water. Do more fishing than cruising. I prefer to use Lead Acid Battery over Lion . When Lion battery reaches low voltage state it just shut off, Lead Acid Battery will keep prop turning on 12Volt motor even at 6 volts, will be good enough to get you home without paddling.

[@mboyer68]

He's using lipo's which are so unbelievably much better than lead acid that I can't believe you even mentioned Pb acid. As little as 2 years ago, 8000mah lipo's would've been probably $250 each but they're cheap now. And the best thing about lipo batteries, when they die you take a nail gun and shoot a nail through the battery, shorting all the cells together, stand back and watch the show!

Not bad. I dont know how much cooling you need but when I did model boats we installed a water pickup angled off the drive prop to cool the engine and had the exit off the side of the hull so you could see it running. It may be an option for your project.

[@CodeMasterCody88]

This would be great!!! If he didn't do this he needs a radiator and fan in the loop on his water cooled ECU!

[@CodeMasterCody88]

It may could clog up the fins if there are any in the ECU cooling block. CPU coolers have fins. Idk if that does. If it does use a corrosion inhibitor and a radiator and fan. Your build will last and not have over heating issues. Good luck

Hey Justin, you should lower the propeller "as deep as you can", it raises the water column (water pressure) above/behind the propeller, reducing the chance of cavitation around the impeller blades (power losses). Great project! Regards from Brazil!

That thing will be nuts with the higher voltage packs! Considering the amount of draw on that controller, you might want to make a heat exchanger out of an old heater core or something, so you can keep it submerged. That water bottle is going to get hot in a short while and burn up your nice 300 amp controller. I think you might want to invest in a better pump also. Those washer pumps are made for intermittent duty, so they won't last very long. If you can find one from an old water cooled computer setup, they're quiet and made to run continuously at 12v. Can't wait to see more on this!😁

One our chiefs, the day before the race (while the engine-men were killing themselves to make more power (and fit a different prop on it)), the CPO shows up with half sheet of plywood with a notch in it for the stern. When the race came about the skippers last words were; "Do NOT fall out, do NOT get caught, and this is yours (a fifth of WILD TURKEY)!!" We won, because we were damned near two knots faster than anyone else, and were eating burgers and sipping that turkey when the second boat got there! The reason that most power boats (and I do know that you know this), are so fuel efficient is because the square shape of the stern on most larger combatant ships prevent them from squatting over the screws.....

+William Fraser That info is on the way!

[@robertotx782]

Tem kit a venda ?

[@dextersxxxxlab]

it is a great setup. The kayak is a nice slim hull but it is made as a displacement hull. the reason it will put the bow up is because it will try to climb out of the hole in the water made by the kayak itself. A displacement hull will have nice lines to let the water flow around the hull with as little disturbance and waves as possible. Each hull has his own parameters and with them it is possible to calculate the specific max hull speed for that hull. Adding more power only will result in a higher pitched bow and higher wave making and bigger fuel/amp consumption. I am pretty sure that in case you would make a light planing hull and mount this motor that it will get up, start riding on top of the water (planing) and go much faster compared to the kayak. have a look at this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eYnnxun6ZsbNk maybe you will understand the difference

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Yup, that is correct. With the exception of this kayak being a displacement hull. The top speed in this video is 8.5 mph. In the video dropping today the kayak hits 11.5 mph. The calculated top speed of my kayak as a displacement hull is 4mph. The displacement hull calculation is a rough estimate based on actual rounded true displacement hulls. Most fishing kayaks have have a flat bottom in the center for stability and some elevated chines for tracking. My particular hull is perfect for getting on top of the water with the exception if the rear of the boat where the boat tapers to a point. The water is not supporting the rear as it climes out of its own bow wake. This causes the front to pitch up. Not near as much as you would think but it is a problem. As you will see in the next video I overcame this with a small hydrofoil just above the prop and the boat hit plane at 11.5 mph.its able do do this because it is a hybrid hull. The test was cut short due to a manufacturer defect so we only have one run on this setup but it was enough to move forward and design a true efficient hydrofoil. The cool thing is we are running at about 1/3 of the rated power capability of the electrical system. It's going to be interesting to see what happens at full power with less resistance from the water. My goal was 10mph. At this point I'm excited to see the top speed. The boat is incredibly stable and controlled at speed and can handle alot more power. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, much more to come!

[@obscurazone]

A Perception Triumph 13 Kayak would work great with a motor. They cut through waves like butter.

very cool -- this is really helpful thinking about powering a kayak. I'm sure you know all this, but for others, at some point you have to be realistic about your boat design-- not built for speed. Try paddling as hard as you can for 30 seconds to get a sense of the limitations of your hull as you try to climb out of your own wake -- you hit an exponential wall of force required. Put this on a 18' 24 beam fast ocean touring kayak, and much faster (and less stable for fishing). I used to paddle 30 miles or so a day in the ocean, so ... well a battery assist would double that I imagine.

Great build. To build myself a faceted kayak out of extruded foam Kirdie panels with extras is on my roster. Build like Lego is my philosophy. If a piece does not fit, remove it, and replace with a better one.

Great video! Most impressed by your level of knowledge, intelligence. A vitamin bottle! Go work for nasa. Great job!

[@robertsperuta6035]

when do you start putting them into production.....i want one.

[@robertsperuta6035]

@@owenair8242 can you send me the link....thank you

[@jeffstevens156]

THAT IS JUST SOOO COOL! I’m impatiently waiting to see the duration. You could eliminate the need for a small motor AND a trolling motor in one fell swoop. AWESOME!

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

There is another video after this one. It's the long range test. I am also uploading another as we speak! You are two behind!

[@jeffstevens156]

The Good of the Land Thanks! I’m glad to see that You show the proper respect for a safe working environment. Face shield for things that could possibly come undone and even a PFD. Great series. I can’t wait till You get it to the market. If You go that far. Still, lots of information.

Those solder connectors are an actual game changer! Way faster and easier than traditional soldering and they aren't expensive at all.

Is the thickness of plate wayyyy over kill?

[@dcgo44r]

Definitely, but is great if happened to have it around and avoiding spend more money and time!

[@lkend2]

U could mount a 50 hp outboard to that thing holy f#%k

[@stevenraycopley8885]

Nah man. 1) Overkill is overrated 2) Moderation is for cowards 😂🤣

[@scable-eq7bp]

Pretty cool Justin, I mounted twin 55 lb, thrust trolling motors on my kayak, each motor has it's own battery supply and the batteries are Dakota Lithium Ultra light weight. My top speed with this setup is 11.7 knots. I did add a pair of Wave Armor outriggers to give me more stability and those outriggers really do their job, very stable ride.....

[@heartsky]

The drone footage cut at the end with outro music...perfect.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Surprised it didn't sink by the stern. Overkill taken to Nth degree, next one you should cut the thickness by at least half! You not putting a V8 outdrive on your kayak.

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Its aluminum. The entire thing weighs five lbs. The battery is less than 10. This kayak can carry 450 lbs. The material used is certainly overkill but it plus several other pieces were picked up at the local scrap yard for $6. Can't beat that price for a prototype. I'm with you in thinking the ones made available for purchase could be 2/3 thinner.

[@Maxim.Teleguz]

I can imagine you never have to excercise again.

[@tribalncgaming1091]

luckily there is this diet called KETO so you can drop down to your natural body weight without excercise :)

Learning is never a failure. words to live by!

[@bryanrussell6679]

Pretty respectable "sleeper" you've got there.

[@inspireonex]

A decent lil wake behind a kayak. Now that's something you don't see every day.

[@jamessieber7095]

i just added a minn kota to my rig native water craft 13.5 ft long 41 inch wide , but yours is a very interesting project i might take in the future. like the speed . in the back for the cable tension and angle . an angle bracket with stainless steel pulleys or aluminum , make em or buy em. 3 inch long 1.5 inch at the middle apex of the triangle and it would give you the slide and relieve the tension on the material so it would not fray.

[@robwesterly5785]

Always on mill pond conditions! 12knots,,, that's where the real testing kicks in!

[@kayakfishingworks1304]

This video was so much fun to watch! Fastest Jackson on the planet. Thanks!

[@Dmhlcmb]

It’s like a moped, really fun and satisfying but you don’t want your friends to see you on it😂

[@broomdustin]

You definitely have something special to sell to the general public worth buying

was so glad to hear you give zoffinger a shout out
