We strapped a 9.8hp outboard on it and motored around Diamond Lake. All systems are go. We picked up some folks and had a few drinks to christen the raft.
Matt Folkedahl, Ben Monson, and Josh Monson are embarking on a quest. The goal is to make it all the way to New Orleans from Minneapolis on a homemade wooden raft. Follow us on our journey.

Thank you all so much! We couldn't have done it without all of the help.
And soon enough we'll have the electric motor system ready to go. Next weekend we'll be cruising on diamond with electric power!
