Wonder what the US Coast Guard would rate those at for Outboard Horse Power and Carrying Capacity.
I see there are no basic safety equipment items onboard any of those powered canoes..... jus' sayin'.

A little quick research shows that they're probably wing drop tanks from F105s. I'm happy to see them there - my dad probably wouldn't have made it home if it weren't for all those Wild Weasel missions. And yes, they do look like they make great canoes...

It is nice to see a peaceful use, for a leftover weapon of war.. God bless their ingenuity.
