is this motor good for a canoe, two adults?

Yes this is a outstanding Tolling motor, you will plenty of power...........

Perfect for your purpose. I originally bought a 25lb thrust and we crawled up river. I got this 50lb thrust and now we cut a wake going upstream!

It would work, but I have read that a 30" shaft is for canoe's. Also remember that the bigger the motor the bigger the battery. The battery I use weights 53 lbs. + I wired it with 10 gauge wire up towards the front of the boat so the rear with my weight and the battery wasn't so heavy at the boat, also the cost of wire + connectors @ $40.00 + a good deep cell battery. Just things to think about, get on the internet and do some research on electric powering canoes. I would think a 35 lbs. thrust would do the job, but I don't know how fast you want to go.

I could not tell you how to mount it, but I can tell you that it is plenty powerful. It is the only motor that I use on my vintage 12' x 5' Aluminum Ouachita jonboat with two heavy adults with the largest battery I could find along with about 50 ponds of gear and it gets us around great. Hope you have fun. I would strongly recommend this motor.

It all depends on the current because we used the motor on an inflatable boat with 2 adults in the lake with not much of the current and the motor barely brought us back to the deck. We got so duscourage aftet the first use and never use it again. My suggestion is to get the next power up model than the 50.

Yes,I believe that small a motor would be no problem. Just keep in mind that there is no rudder board, or anything that could control speed/direction beyond a trolling action.

I do this in 1-2ft swells. (I'd call this chop) I have a 21 ft boat and wanted something to get to shore with. So I added on a 55lb thrust electric motor and have taken it between patience island and prudence Island from my boat. (Narragansett Bay RI) It handles real well. but this year I picked up a 3HP gas motor - although the 55 lb works excellent - it's max speed is like 3 mph or so it feels. I'm going to try the MAX 3hp motor on it. I've watched youtube videos of this and it moves a little quicker. Still the boat can handle 1-2 ft chop or swells with no problem.

The boat has only been used by childern in a small lake and a pool. It has held up well, but if you have a risk of hitting sharp rocks or trees it may not be your best choice.

No this is not for adults. We do have a few listings on Amazon for 150cc and 250cc ATVs that are for adults. Please check them out..

Assuming that you're asking "What motor SHOULD I get?", I have to say "That depends on what you want it to do". Just as you can't expect a car like a Geo-Metro to go from 0-60 in 5 seconds (but rather would need a Corvette for such), getting a motor in the $90-150 range that can only provide 18-25 lbs thrust will move you on a lake fine, but be somewhat slow. The advantage of the cheaper/smaller motor is that it uses less power, so you can have a smaller battery and/or it will last longer. If you want one that can handle a rivers current or move you faster, you may need one with 30-40 lbs thrust range that will cost ~$175-250. Going bigger than that is probably not a good idea since this boat manual says "Max motor weight ~20 lbs" and even the 40 lbs thrust model will likely be 25lbs weight (or at least that's what mine is). If you want to know about name brands, look at reviews to see if there's lots of "Poor quality" ones or such, otherwise many will do a fine job.

I'm very happy & satisfied with Hangkai 2 cycle boat engine. I guess It's manufactured by (Generic) a well known Company for Generators & other equipment here in USA... As far as 12 miles a hour -- it's a stretch..Depends on the weight of your boat, occupants and gear, --- In very still waters -- I would bet it will exceed 7 mph easily... How about this for thought: Engine will run on full Throttle for like 2-3 hours on 1 tank of fuel & you will be very far from home.... For the Money it's a great value vs, prices of other boat engines... Like you, I was hesitant about purchase, turned out to be a great fun & investment. Frank

Yes. Its a awesome boat. 35mph out the box. biy 2extra battery s for $20 each and you have an hour of fun. The supplied charger take s 3 hr. You can get a charger from ho bytown for $40 that will charge in 40 min.

I have been using on my 150 Johnson 2 stroke and it's been great, haven't had any issues.

If your canoe is 16" or shorter it should fit. It is most durable and I think you would like it.

Not at all! In fact the 2-stroke motor is oriented more for adults. Kids would feel more comfortable with an electric scooter. The motor has a great power band and makes torque seemingly at all rev ranges compared to a 4-stroke. The motor does not need to be taken off to be worked on. You can also very easily replace the seat it comes with, don't expect to stand if you are over '5"5. Mine has had very few problems getting me places past the first couple weeks.

NO. I haven't tried it but from other reviews and using it, there is no way you can get the mount on the canoe. Good canoe for an inflatable but you'll have to paddle yourself. Also, of course, when paddling there is the back and forth sway of an inflatable. not too bad though

Should work well. We averaged about 25 mph, with both kids and adults and it worked great.

It is motor capable trolling motor but you have to purchase the motor mount package. Very easy to get ready and take apart. It is very sturdy. I'm not sure more than three adults and two children would be comfortable. My husband and I have used ours a few times and enjoy it we brought it for our family campout where everyone took turns using it. We have only used it on small lakes.

Should be able to handle a 16 ft kayak. You push the kayak/canoe like a wheel barrow.

I can share my experience with you so you can make a determination yourself as all boats are different. I use mine as a motor for a 27' Pontoon Boat that I stripped and turned into a floating TikiBar (named "Pontiki"). It doesn't move very fast but is capable of moving it around a mile long lake with roughly 4.5 miles of shoreline with 10-12 adults on board. Power consumption is minimal.Hope this helps!

It's a 2-stroke, which is what I understand is the best for small equipment. The fuel is a mixture of gas and oil.
