The Canadian Heritage Act previously prohibited operating any submersible vehicle or towed survey equipment within 500 m...

Re: BRP Shows New Outboard Engine Integration Concept to Investors
I recall that Pursuit and some other boat manufacturers (I believe Sea Ray may have been one) tried this concept about 10 years ago. See, e.g., https://www.boatingmag.com/boats/pursuit-sc-365i/ (scroll down for pictures of the hidden outboard motors). It doesn't seem to have caught on all that well.

Re: Door County, Wisconsin Rendezvous - August 2016
The 22 and 23-footers that make the crossing generally cruise in the high 20s. Much slower and some of them have difficulty staying on plane. If you want to make the crossing in a 15-footer, you better hope for two really calm days.
