Default Square stern canoes

Bob,

Thank you. Do you find that the 2hp Johnson and MinnKota 3hp electric have
sufficient power against a headwind. One of the trips that brought this idea
of a motor about was a trip to lake Umbagog in New Hampshire/Maine, after
paddling several miles to look at the birds the wind came up and we found
ourselves with several hours of hard paddling into a brutal headwind to get
back to the car. When we were younger this would have been an interesting
challenger but now it's just a pain in the butt followed by several days of
sore muscles.

Ron,

I have one of Bean's wooden canoe motor mounts and have used it with great
success on an old, flat-bottomed White canoe from Old Town. I've used the
mount with a Johnson 2HP outboard and a MinnKota 3HP electric.

Happy motoring,
Bob Scott
