Well, we are adding all kinds of gear to it already... rudder, pole holder, pedals, etc. What's so sinful about motor?
All of that gear doesn't require paying a registration fee with the state. The minute you add a motor, electric or gas, then you need to pay a fee. The basic idea of a "kayak" has always been human powered. There's nothing sinful about a motor, but if you want a kayak with a motor, then you're building the kayak "around" the motor. At which point, its a similar building process of a boat. There are already off-the-shelf motorized kayaks by all the big name brands.
