Anyone ever turn a WeedEater Edger into a small pond boat motor? Not a
string trimmer but using an Edger



I've seen those "grass cutters" that are used here made into long tail
motors. The kind that use a small two stroke engine in a backpack. The
flexible shaft portion is removed leaving the engine with a 5 ft.
shaft attached to it. A propeller on the end and a bracket to mount it
and you're good to go... for a years or so as corrosion gets to them
very rapidly. On the other hand they are cheap.
Cheers,
