The Quick Canoe Electric is not just a cargo canoe with a transom, it is a purpose designed electric boat with plywood canoe simplicity.  It is easily roofrackable – once you take the one or two batteries out! – with a hull weight of around 65lbs.

What a great boat!

This cargo canoe has the existing Quick Canoe attributes of being very cheap in materials and very simple to build.

This plywood electric boat is specifically designed for very low power – the shapes required to go at higher speeds safely are very different from this.

If someone decides to put a 5hp on the back the boat will move along at medium speed with its nose high in the air without ever going fast. the transom might rip off and there is a strong likelihood it will flip if it is cornered sharply.

But with a single horsepower and it bit or an electric motor – it works really well an efficient electric canoe
