i am not sure i understand you post but i appreciate the complement about workmanshipPaulioq wrote:cricky after you include labour hours for that bracket its like a $1500 motor mount with steering but that's if you already have a 3d printer but with out the buoyancy and comfort of a $1500 kayak. that is some flash workmanship specially the 3p printingit.
how did you work out $1500 ? i like your calculator if i could get payed that much id quit work tomorrow
1 hour to make a template
2/3 hours in the fabrication and welding for the motor mount
2 hours in design and fabrication of steering mount if in steel
or
1/2 hour set up time in 3d printing
plus alloy steel and plastic cost yets say $100
even if i stopped for a nap its not 8 hours of work
comfort is relative a $60 coleman roll up stadium seat makes a huge difference
and buoyancy i weigh 60 kg plus my gear 10kg max 70kg total in a yak rated for 125kg i dont think i am going under any time soon
