I use the same style mud motor they have on those boats. I would love to get one of the tanks to make a boat with. The guy that imports the motors makes trips to Thailand every year and his wife is from there. He shared more insight about the drop tank boats and its very cool.

We use them down here also in the swamps and shallow water. We call them Go-Devils. |

I'd buy the shit outta one of those drop tanks and convert to an open top kayak.
