Another similar idea is to tow a fully loaded outback (with buddy) behind an AI with a full throttle 2.5HP @ 7kts out of the jaws at Moss and across Monterey bay.   :smt044

Hahaha, yeah, kayaks aren't great towing rigs. I towed that guy and his upside down Native Titan a while back, was a serious workout.
