There was my van, all my motorcycles (except track bikes never for the street) and my Gheenoe. Everything is a lie but people.

Marty, you have reached a whole new level when it comes to creating content people care about. That was not just a masterful build, but a masterfully told story.

Fantastic build! And I must say, the way you film and edit your videos makes them a pleasure to watch. I usually just scroll through long videos, but not yours. Keep up the great work!

I just rewatched this for probably the 4th time. I finally built mine using an ascend fs12 kayak. It is so much fun and better than paddling to the fishing spots. Thankyou for your awesome videos!

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and not only that, you have all the tools and materials to complete the job. You made it look so easy when you put everything together and the tools you have really made the job done faster in less time and effort.

I had no problem imagining that would operate well with the kayak being that long. Nicely done.

Rattlerjake1 because my yak runs in 6 inches of water, and my long tail runs in 7. I’ve been places no boat has even dreamed of.

I did stuff like that in my teens, boy do I miss those days. Keep living man, you rock

Great Build, reminds me of myself outfitting a 15' Scot Canoe Kevlar squareback with a 6 hp Evinrude plus the 3 gallon tank. Made a cooler seat to adjust the trim by sliding back and forth to find the sweet spot. Also made a tiller extension with a internal button extension to kill the button on the end of handle. That was in 1986 when I was 36 years old. Forward 34 years just got another Kevlar squareback canoe and power it with a much tamer 3.5 Mercury which will hit 12 mph with me and my little grandma up front. Little boats with small motors will take you to some very magical spots. Always wear your jacket and kill switch please.

Your attention to detail and craftsmanship are amazing

Brother, i dont comment much on videos, but.....your work and creativity is just inspiring. I've see the "poor man's kayak" beginnings and glad to see you still have that creative drive even though you dont need the "poor man's" yak.

The cinematography on this is SO GOOD

superb job, I tried this with no success, one thing I suggest through my trials, is outrigger stabilizing pontoons in case of wave action from disrespectful boaters

Very cool project. Lost track of you for a couple of years but two days ago I was watching a guy evaluate some kayaks and he mentioned your name. Was really happy to relocate you again. Keep it up.

Looks like a blast! Marty plus an unlimited supply of Starboard is a dangerous thing!

A+ for Craftsmanship, A+ for Creativity!

Zoffinger back at it again with a great build. One of the finest Artist innovator's in the kayak world.

Always enjoy your videos, that’s why I have now subscribed! I also love messing around in workshops!

You did a really good job designing this modification. Definitely seems more involved than a hold my beer production.

Your skills are remarkable. 14 to 16 mph in a kayak is flying! Well done.

WOW That is the fastest Yak I have ever seen. You come up with some crazy stuff.

I respect a guy that can eye ball, free hand cut, and drill, and it all goes together not to mention card board blue prints. Amazing stuff! I wasted so much time learning Machine Shop. LOL Great job I enjoyed it a bunch.

hes the definition of a smart hold my beer florida man, crazy ideas that involve slapping a motor onto anything that floats but he uses actual science and makes an industrial level of quality build

Another great video Marty, love the content

Amazing! I'm hoping to strap a small outboard on a pair of old paddle boards. Your sliding chair is a genius solution to the problem of how to set the trim! You've got a new subscriber :-D

Dude that came out awesome!!! very genius. I'm about to buy my 1st kayak and I'd love to do exactly the same.

So cool man I enjoy watching a good invention/fabricating video like this, it got me excited👍 just picked up a new mercury 3.5 yesterday and I’m already getting ideas🤣

That grin when you first twisted the throttle was priceless!

Cool! My first boat was a 17 ft fibreglass canoe with a 1948 6hp Johnson Seahorse on a side mount. Scary as heck on the St.Lawrence but bugs in my teeth smiling. Cheers

very cool ! Your a real Artisan, Thanks for all your hard work and sharing with us.

your videos are always so zen and wholesome and inspiring. Thanks man

As a carpenter craftsmen myself I'm amazed at the ingenuity you have this isnt something average Joe is going to create great work man true craftsman!

The shots from the circlular saw POV - effing genius!

Probably the best video I’ve seen on the internet. Thank you!

Amazing brother. So happy to see you come all the way where you are now. I am a really old subscriber a viewer. Your craftsmanship and superb and camera work and editing 👌 hats off.

That looks like a blast! Good stuff as always.

I once told a boss all the best jobs I ever had were ones I could do barefoot. Another perfect example,LOL. 14-16 mph has to feel like 30 when you sit so low , you did a great job especially with the sliding seat.

I am a kayak bass fisher. My head just exploded seeing the 5hp motor on there. Wonderful. Just fun. You keep doing you.
