Looks like a sweet ride :smt007

I know that guy ! See him all the time... LOL
Anybody notice the drive unit was installed while carting it to the dock ? I'm thinking it should be able to launch from the beach with the drive unit installed. Maybe, with a little care to prevent sand from getting into the mechanism.

very cool

I cart my yaks to water edge with drive installed and fins pinned back then pull cart and lift front and drag a few feet to float. Works perfect. For landings I pull the drive. Too much chance of sand and rock strikes.

It seems that that cart would work with most kayaks, how much are they?

Without the wheelbarrow-type spread handles, I think a regular yak would be wobbling all over the place. Slick as heck with the Raptor, though, isn't it?

Shit hot Jim. I wanna fish in one to be sure .

Have you ever had any problem with sand,etc during the launch? I'd guess the water would rinse any sand out.

No trouble during the launch. I keep the bow raised till the pinned back fins have a few inches of clearance then jump in, paddle deep enough to clear the fins at full stroke, then start pedaling.

Man, wish I had that much rear storage area in my Hobies. Looking good.
