Just putting the outboard motor bracket together....looks pretty workmanlike so far?
Is only for the chinese clone of a Honda gx35 weedeater type motor......35cc before anyone starts freaking out

Imagine the look on people's faces when you come through the line up
I would like a video once it's ready.
Got it mounted on my board.....will wait until I've got a tiller extension before I do the maiden voyage though

Yep.....the tiller extension would have to be long enough so that you could do the stand up thing :)
Small steps.....but extended handle using lawn mower throttle handle & featuring an off switch right next to the hand grip (feel free to ignore other projects in the background)
Hey Gizzie love the Macgyver work. Can I ask why you chose a petrol unit over a battery outboard that's used in kayaks?
BTW is that bus your permanent digs or mobile workshop-very cool
Congratulations for this "crazy" idea, i really appreciate out of the box realisations. Maybe on the water, it'll become an evidence :)
Monday morning might be my "launch into the ocean" day.....According to Windy wind & wave app supposed to be zero wind & zero swell.....did tiny video snippet.....but youtube rendering is terrible terrible terrible? At Tolaga Bay "blue waters"

You gotta have a pretty heavy battery.....we are talking about a stand up paddle board

We will see.....think I have a Monday morning launch date
thought I might have been gifted more "technical advice" from you guys. Here are my observations. Motor quite strong enough to push sup along at medium revs. My big mistakes not having on/off switch & throttle control on deck in front of me.
can you tilt the motor up so you can paddle without dragging the prop?
... or catch a wave 
good point.....can do that but have to have handle extending left or right almost dragging in the ocean . Just a fun hobby project. with lots of flaws ....did a bit of paddling with propeller down,,,,was not nice
Getting interesting....about to put amas on my sup (outrigger hulls) to join the outboard motor bracket
