Ah, I see it has the "Clurch Drive". I have had a few of those. The motor is running nicely as you paddle out of your mooring then the clutch drops and you get the lurch..I think the honesty needs commending.
Is this a rare and desirable feature? I prefer the clurchless models...

Needs a fuel tank. How does he start it.? Silver spray can has gone into overdrive.
I much prefer a clutch.

Puts it in gear, pushes it down a wave and drops the clutch, obviously!

Has anyone tried starting a gull by using a leather belt around the flywheel?
