Considering the 3d world flavor of this he might just have an old bilge pump priming the water pump through the heater hose inlet and a 1.5 inch intake over the side. This didn't look like he ordered a lot from Great Lakes Skipper. |

Some of these long tail motor boats are pretty primitive even here in the US. The guy I see here looks like he has a lawn tractor motor or something connected to a long shaft and a prop in a little Jon Boat. It is air cooled, 4 stroke, pull start and you can hear him coming quite a ways away. I may have a picture spinning here somewhere. |

Anyone who built something eventually wants to see if it is faster than the guy's down the road. Hell they race lawn tractors. |
