    small motor

    Do you think this would work? Doesn't look like fun.

    No gearing so immense amount of work. Replace the handle with a good 18v batter drill.

    at low speeds props are less efficient than paddle wheels or in fact oars.

    I saw these at the Gold Coast Boat Expo earlier in the year. Certainly an interesting option but you wouldn't want to be travelling too far or against the tide.

    Could be good for little estuaries off creeks like Tingalpa etc.

    I like Dignity's idea of whacking an 18v drill on it. Wonder how noisy it'd be though?

    For just $160 odd bucks it'd be worth an experiment.
