I hadn`t thought of that concept at all, and as fixed motors would cause drag when not running, it has a lot of appeal. Will increase stability too, bonus! I didn`t know about PWJs will check them out, thanks.

> Hi all, I`m designing a decked canoe at the mo, and thought to design it around installing twin ducted fans, or axial-flow "jets" - single or twin tunnel fans I suppose - running off .25hp (200w) motors. Thing is I do not want to use a trolling motor (too easy), and can only find info on very large water-jets, has anyone got any experience with this type of drive-train? As its a canoe, my target max speed is 6 knots, and cruise of 4 knots. Projected loa is 13ft, beam 32", dry weight 25kg - she`ll be skin-on-frame with local re-inforcing where needed. As I`ll be beach launching, any installation below the skeg is not an option
