2.5 hp Suzuki Outboard (high speed needed)
« on: September 11, 2009, 09:01:39 PM »
I had a minivacation on Georgian Bay this summer..
I traveled 116km in 2 days in my canoe...

I was testing out my new 2.5hp four stroke suzuki outboard i installed on the canoe i built a few years ago..

The boat fully loaded wieghed 400lbs 1/4oz...
I had 1 litre oil containers full of fuel i kept dumping in everytime it ran out..
On 1 Litre of fuel i averaged:
Distance 24.325km
Speed 9.3 km
Time moving 2:36
MAx speed 13.125 km
The views were awesome...




Hercules had a great time and thinks this place is the best place in the world to play...

This was my bed for a few nights...it was amazing to watch the meteor shower...a meteorite was falling at about every 5 seconds for awhile...like my own personal fireworks display...

I even had time to stop at Henry's world famous Fish and Chips out on one of the islands...busy place 4 float planes took off while i was eating my pickeral dinner...

The rock formations from erosion are interesting to look at...hard to imagine anything that could wear the granite into these wierd designs..

Have a great summer all...
Time to go out camping again...see you all in a few days..
Cheers
Tug
