The Quick Canoe Electric is designed for an electric trolling motor and is intended as a low drag hull for modest speed. It can be built in a couple of weekends from detailed plans.

This boat was built by a volunteer group in Poland. The video is from Wojciech Woźny Comments below are his unless otherwise labelled
Finally I've found time to share some photos & experience of Quick Electric Canoe bulid with a group of students at Forum Filtrowa in Warsaw (Poland) this summer.
We've made a 120 km trip on Wisła river (Vistula) from Warsaw to Płock (downstream, 2 days) with 3 people onboard and old Honda BF5 engine.
The boat turns easily and keeps direction very well upstream and downstream.
Goes 13 km/h (7 knots) on the quiet lake (3 people onboard). Reached 21 km/h downstream on Vistula river (1 person onboard).
The designer doesn't recommend the boat for high speed operations about 7 to 9 knots. There is a chance of hitting a wave or turning too fast and the boat will flip over very easily. But it is an extremely economical hull to get onto the water and requires little building skill.
