I am guessing Torque also fits into to it.

Torque on the WalMart boat is 6 or 8 inches. The torque on the paddles are 2 or three feet.

I dont think you would want to paddle the canoe across the water if you could only put the paddle in the water no deeper than 6 inches and HAD to lock your fore arm and could only rotate the paddle around your wrist.

Or in car terms, yes I do think of most things in car terms. The different between a VERY long stroke motor, that turns at SLOW rpms (Canoe), or a short stroke motor turning at very high, comparatively, rpms (WalMart boat).

Torque defines how fast it can go
HP is how fast it will get to the top speed.
