Isn't that the same kayak that Sonny/Sailfish has? Looks like a sweet little ride.

Its almost all already  been said.  If you  want  to  turn your  kayak  into  a boat  its  up to  you.  If you  don't  enjoy  exercising  ( pedal  or paddle) and the relative quiet and vibration  free  environment and prefer to limit  the locations you  can  launch ( ie; Beach  launches /landings in marginal surf conditions) and concerns about  righting a flipped  kayak  with  a big battery  don't  worry  you (you  will  flip  if you  do more than a little  kayaking), then you  should  definitely  be a motor  guy.  Ultimately  just  have  fun. That's  what its  all about.

In the game of biggest fish, if you can't enjoy routinely gettin' your ass handed to you, by great fishermen, then you don't belong in the NCKA.
