"Fuzion" is indeed descriptive of this very interesting merger of 'toon and SUP. Just some initial observations.
Using the oars seems a little awkward with one's hands being so low, but maybe the draft is so minimal that it takes little effort to row. HOWEVER, this looks like a great platform for MasterDaad's pedal project.
I like the optional skegs. That, coupled with very low profile, should minimize being pushed around by the wind (a real plus on Strawberry).
The motor mount is awesome and the ability use it as bow or stern propulsion offers real functionality. With light weight and almost no draft, you could easily use Endura 30 with 30" shaft (cheapest and lightest).
Size and weight are a big plus. It also looks like it would be easy to attach to a roof rack with minimal drag and noise.
Would like to try it before I buy it.
If you get one, you guys should come with Suz and me and float the Green, fish the Gorge, and have bar-b-q at the Snag.
