interesting, innovative video...

certainly not recommending such an extreme project, but this video illustrates (to me anyway) what can be done with some imagination/ingenuity, some king starboard, fiberglass, foam and other materials, perhaps applicable to our C22's....worth a view IMO...(as in a pre-86 dedicated fuel compartment, etc.)...has given me some ideas...

I get it if you have to dream up something to make a YouTube vid. But seriously, a single 15 or 20HP wouldn't work better/cheaper/lighter/faster?

silly on the motor(s) thing for sure on a small plastic boat, but I thought interesting on the mods, cutouts, etc., as it may apply to a c22...

Life being short, I fast forwarded to the end. But the result was redneck fabulous! It looked like good, well thought-out work. He'll get more waves and smiles in that thing than a million-dollar sportfish!

I found that video oddly captivating. He certainly didn't take the easy or obvious route, but I couldn't stop watching. A lot of fun.
I love videos that lead you to a new way of looking at something or inspire ideas around the use of a material in new ways.
I once saw a video of a guy using PVC to make a new tiller arm, lower unit and skeg for his outboard. I wouldn't have done it that way, but it sure opened up the possibilities to me.

oddly captivating

Kind of like "like a boss" or "fail" videos. Either way, definately not ordinary.

Flip Floppy the recycled plastic dhow

This is a repurposed plastic bottle that shrinks with a heat gun around a join of two pieces of wood to make strong, glue-free joint.

And yet another way to reuse plastic bottles.

The product is not worth the investment but Yeehaw anyway

I couldn’t help but note the similarity to that video:
