LOL! that is pretty bad ass. Leave it to the asians to figure out how to turn a kayak into a motor boat. Does the engine start by pulling on it like a lawn mower?  :smt044  Thanks for sharing. It made my day.

True.

If I had one, I'd just use it to haul ass to get to where I wanted to go and then use my stealthy pedal drive to actually fish.  I bet you can seriously extend your range and get back home pretty quick. :smt003

Dang.... does it come with the attachments to cut the kelp while I motor through it?   :smt005 If it wasn't so noisy the idea might sell.  Heck I hope I don't ever hear that noise where I fish.

  It is a neat little gizmo, but I'm sure the motor is not C.A.R.B approved, so trying to get in CA. might be a little difficult, and if one did, I'm sure the state would want it, (the yak) registered as a motor vehicle! complete with CF tags.

Ingenious, yet noisy  :smt003
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
