Quick Canoe Electric
Designed by Michael Storer
The Quick Canoe Electric is a small cargo canoe drawn around a trolling motor. It keeps the plywood simplicity of the paddling Quick Canoe but has more beam for stability, a transom for the motor, a rear seat lowered to the height of the front one and a hull shaped for low power.
The boat comes out of three sheets of plywood and the designer puts the hull at around 65 lb. With a 34 lb thrust motor he expects 5 to 6 mph on one or two batteries. It is meant for light cargo, cartopping once the batteries are out, and slow cruising on small rivers and lakes. Storer warns against fitting a larger outboard: even 2 hp is too fast for this hull. The plans show no built-in buoyancy, so foam blocks or tanks are the builder's addition.
What building a Quick Canoe Electric actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
