Thanks, I love it. If it could paddle with less effort it would be a more popular option i think. I just use the electric motor with paddle as a backup.

Yep, they are not cheap... $75. Signed and numbered by artist though. Only 250 prints released. I collect signed and numbered art like this and it is reasonable as those prices go though.
