if i put a motor on the back of a windsurfing board???
any ideas

Depends what you're trying to do, break the world speed record or just go fishing.
But if you go greeny's way you may need a bit of extra flotation.

If you fix dissimilar metals to each rail you could run a low voltage electric motor from them.

Or maybe a solar panel to drive a higher voltage model.

The other alternative if you don't like the smell of fossil fuels, is a small wind turbine driving an alternator.

Jees Decrep, you make it sound almost possible.

V8 bloody hell... no way.

I used to race R/C cars........ 600Hp per litre....... naturally aspirated. Now we're talking

Come on Nebs, the guy said motor, how can you think of a sail, that would never work!!!

yes you would easyly be able to put a motor or even an engine on the back of your board, but it would have no purpose, it would just weigh it down. but you would easily be able to fit a small 10 horse pwer outboard on them, just would need to be good a fiberglassing to fit the mold onto the back, and to counter wiegh this at wieght , dig a burrow into the board for the fuel hose once again fiber glass this shut, and attch the tank on the front, i think that would work really well on a old formular board

I can see its going to be a long winter

Yes, looks like the lid from a chemical drum (ANFO) with some sort of initiator on it. Obviously the start of an METC device.

Allah allah mohammed burn kill president Al Quaeda Taliban 911 CIA die die die

(think those were flagged, try "METC". They don't exist apparently).
