Just putting the outboard motor bracket together....looks pretty workmanlike so far?

Got it mounted on my board.....will wait until I've got a tiller extension before I do the maiden voyage though

Yep.....the tiller extension would have to be long enough so that you could do the stand up thing :)

Small steps.....but extended handle using lawn mower throttle handle & featuring an off switch right next to the hand grip (feel free to ignore other projects in the background)

This is more suspenseful than the unveiling of the sunova ghost...

Hey Gizzie love the Macgyver work. Can I ask why you chose a petrol unit over a battery outboard that's used in kayaks?
BTW is that bus your permanent digs or mobile workshop-very cool

Congratulations for this "crazy" idea, i really appreciate out of the box realisations. Maybe on the water, it'll become an evidence :)

You gotta have a pretty heavy battery.....we are talking about a stand up paddle board

thought I might have been gifted more "technical advice" from you guys. Here are my observations. Motor quite strong enough to push sup along at medium revs. My big mistakes not having on/off switch & throttle control on deck in front of me.

can you tilt the motor up so you can paddle without dragging the prop?
... or catch a wave

good point.....can do that but have to have handle extending left or right almost dragging in the ocean . Just a fun hobby project. with lots of flaws ....did a bit of paddling with propeller down,,,,was not nice
