Arthur, thanks for your notes on your PuR 35 experience. I considered the electric motor option before buying the manual model, and came to the conclusion that the motorised model was designed to be used in situations where the operator had access to plenty of electricity! I can't remember the power drain statistics now, but it was a considerable draw. Like its bigger brothers I believe the motorised 35 is for those who have access to the 12 volt alternator charging systems of power boats, yachts etc. How do you reconcile this with kayaking? I second your thoughts on the PuR 06; as I mentioned in an earlier posting, the round the world sailor Tony Bullimore survived several days in his capsized yacht with one. Extreme survival tool only.
