They are by 'dudevato' and named 'solar canoe II' The framework is made from electrical conduit and plenty strong. The 'outrigger' is a 9' windsurf board and will be de-tachable and mounted some 8' off the starboard, using more, lighter gauge conduit. And it will have seating and shade.
The 6 panels are 130 watts each. I'll be able to give each of 2 30lbs of thrust 12 volt trolling motors either 1, 2 or 3 'panels of power' What about running one motor 'forward' and the other in 'reverse'? This thing ought to turn on a dime, uh?
Now if the Lake Patrol will call this thing a Canoe (no registration/$$ to the state of California) and leave me alone I'll be All Set :)
