You boys let me know if you need a similar propulsion unit, I've got a few layin' around. 1/3, 1/2, and 1hp in stock. Larger requests may be special order.

How does it steer ? is it thrust vectored?

If not I'll give em an idea ,set it on a swivel chair with out the back rest, screw it to the seat ,and you've got it ,even able to reverse ,the only thing is you have to be careful not to blow some one off the boat.

Is it just me or is it mounted on the FRONT?!

Hard to tell with that awesome new deck he added but it appears that "boat" is loaded aft end first on the trailer.

Here's a little better view of the propulsion system. Also notice the neatness of the wiring just to the port of the office, I mean fishing chair.
