,,,,hmmmmmm, you must know a secret. 

Nop - Just found out from Jim rock cod season closed from Nov thr end of Mar.  There are lot more for the newbee to learn.

Got the Raptor from Jim over the week-end, a Navy Gray color.  We spent some time custom build the motor mount and came out just perfect.  Jim is quite something.  Next is VHF with build in GPS - I have my eyes on Standard Horizon HX850S just over $200.  Any suggestions ?  After that is a fish finder, I'd rather get a compact one. 

I will be heading for ARW ( Alameda base) for the initial try in both calm and some how windy days to get to know the Raptor.  However, I may head for the Bodega Bay inlet for a 6 mile leasure kayaking from Vallery Ford to Bodega Bay if tide and friends can all be lined up properly.

Yes, I understand a good pic or a clip worth more than 1K words.  Cheers

Hare are some pic of my motor and place like this is where I enjoy my summer:
The solar panel puts out 45W. Took me only 6 hours to full from around 30% of capacity.

Don't let my dad see those elk...looks like StarValley Wyo...where I grew up as a kid....

I was just chking the solar out it was saying you can recharge on the fly...curious to know how that would work....where would a person mount the panel???  Thanks bro...the middle pic didn't load...been considering eVolve for my revo...people when I mention it...but get 51 and be a busted up logger/roughneck and a grip of other things and you can appreciate the finer things in life...like getting the F in when your 5.5 miles out on the Strait of San Jaun DeFuca and the wind comes up the wrong freaking way

Thanks for the info...

Yep - The 1st thing I looked was the motor options when I got back into kayaking. After I tried out Torqeedo, I know that's a nice oldman's ticket until can't walk.  I hope Torqeedo is the most reliable e-motor out there now. One pull, the motor is off the water completely and the reverse speed just as fast as the forward speed with my carolina 12. I had Carolina up to 10.5MPH on the lake with that motor.

Welcome aboard LIG. Try to make it to the RBC this weekend so you can meet a whole bunch of super cool guys and gals.
