Motorizing My Hobie PA17t (Electric & Gas) + Lighting - Florida Fish Hunter

Sharing some modifications that I made to the boat prior to taking it on its first voyage since purchased. The transom shown is partly just a prototype rig for testing purposes. Hopefully I'm close with the calculated transom height and angle for the outboard otherwise it should just be a simple adjustment. Be sure to look out for a follow up to this video.

    Thanks for sharing your work. I'm looking at motor mount setups and yours has helped me think mine out. Looking forward to seeing your videos on using it.

    I’m very tempted to dump my 14 for a 17.

    I would recommend trying out a 17 first before dumping the 14 just in case you don't like it. 😊👍

    @@FFHTV I borrowed a 17t when I was buying my 14 a few years ago. I didn’t want the extra chair and drive so I didn’t get it but as I build up my kit for my kayak I’ve noticed that I either need to lighten my load or swap to a larger kayak. I take this thing all over the country and do multi day camping trips out of it along with all day river cruises. I’m not going smaller at this point.
