Thanks. The Glen-l electric drive set-up is exactly what i had in mind. Has any body actually done it? I don't want to pay for plans that I may not even use.I'd like to see pics of a build first. As far as the " Pug " goes, I haven't seen any pics of one compleated, but it looks a little complex for its usefullness. I was thinking more along the lines of a stretched " Tubby Tug " .

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.
