his is gas and chaindrive
mine will be electric and rope drive.
cheaper that way
like this...kinda sorta
rope is cheap, so are pulleys..and I can splice them to be any length.
did I mention that they were cheap?
break one..fix it..
or just plain old poly ski rope.
it's not like were talking major power here.
and that's the point.
as long as it will go UP river, agains the current...about 3mph...I'm good.
actually it's going to be in a lake anyway..not much current in damned up lakes.
not that kind.

I'm sure you can afford a higher quality rope.
only the best hemp will do.
or maybe kevlar
Don't waste kevlar on a steamboat. It has many other useful applications. I say go with hemp.

Here's the thing: with hemp you may never need to go in the water and still have a great time.
or I could use manila extract
