I think that Glen-L may have just what your asking for.
This is their drive setup, being able to adjust the gearing might be very nice.

I want to build a mini tugboat for my kids that is also big enough for me and my wife ( perhaps 12 feet or so ) but it has to be on a shoe string budget with as many things as possible repurposed or scrounged from junk. I think it needs a little more power than a trolling motor. I was thinking of a golf cart motor or some kind of car starter or something. any ideas? Oh also. The drive wouldn't necessarily have to turn, I could mount it fixed and use a rudder if it's easier ( and cheaper ).thank you.
