I love it. Thats the way we were raised and we had the greatest childhood. My Dad was so much like this...he made us the coolest fun stuff. Thank God he did that instead of spending all his free time judging other people on the internet
-
I love it. I wish every dad's have some time with their kids now and days.

The boats over there in Thailand are made with this same type of engine mount setup! They use small gas powered engines to V-6 & V-8's as well! I've been to Thailand 3 separate times while serving in the U.S. Navy & road on these boats from the aircraft carrier to shore & back! They'll hold 20 or so people in some of these boats & they do go purty fast out across the water! A job well done on your lil ole project there, bud! Your youngin was having some fun, wasn't he!

Direct from Thailand!

That's freaking awesome, great dad..
-
Loving your work Don. Some things never change huh.
-
I love this, its lightweight, and moves you arround! its perfect, and its pretty much the only thing you can use, a boat motor would flip small rafts such as that one
-
15 minutes after the camera stopped rolling, Mummy and Daddy are in the holiday room having boisterous copulation and discussing what to say to the insurance man about little Harry's nautical mishap.
-
Great test pilot....what a lot of fun.
-
and the kid was never seen again,,

I did the same thing making an outboard motor with a weeded terms about 20yrs ago.
-
At least you got the mount right & it moves. I used the wheel joint off a shopping cart and a air condition fan blade for the propeller.
-
these weed eater boat engine are really cool am thinking about building one and putting it on my kayak.
-
If the propulsion wasn’t facing down, that raft would be a bit faster. It’s never too late to compliment a dad for creating good memories.
-
yeah this is awesome and would definitely work for many different things
-
Super cameramann. meine oma konnte nach 30 jahren mal wieder ein film ohne brille sehen und das in HD (-:, dafür gibs daumen hoch!

I used to go boating with this guy that always had some kind of engine failure and left us stranded on the river. I told him I was going to make one of these with a weed wacker and bring it along.

Very good great video we tried it years ago but kept cutting out too much pitch on our prop i would have made a full guard cage round the prop in case little lad falls in
-
String trimmers were originally outboard engines for small boats - until someone thought it would be fun to destroy some weeds with the prop. Now the technology has gone full circle.

I was just thinking how cool it is to see kids still interested in stuff like this especially these days, with all the i phone smart phone shit going on. Some kids do nothing but sit on their ass and stare at a screen all day untill their eyes sting. Its nice to see kids getting outside and that parents are willing to take time to slap together some old boat and a weed eater for their kids amusement.
