Default small outboard on canoe

Wally,

I had a 1.2 hp Tanaka on a Snipe sailboat that had been converted to a duck
boat. The thing weighed in excess of 400 lbs loaded. Believe it or not,
that little motor pushed that big boat at a fast walking speed (5 mph?). I
think you will be fine.


"Walking speed" is only half that, 2.5 mph. It agrees with the time it
takes me to complete my daily 2 mi walk.
