Backwater

Maiden voyage of what I have named (a boat's gotta have a name surely) Backwater seeing as I was into Status Quo when I started building this at school in 1974.
With two 12v batteries and a motor out of a cheap electric drill it just doesn't seem to go fast enough even though the motor was smoking when I took the top off.
I think modifications are called for. Not yet though. I'll bung it in the shed and wait a few decades.
