A local kayak seller and trip guide here takes trips with beginners, and has

YIKES!!!  =:-o)

I don't think we could get away with using an outboard for *anything*.  Noise, water and air pollution are not worth the *safety* a sag wagon provides.  A big part of what we do is show people the way to safe, sane kayaking.
