Start Quote: Perhaps a new sport could be invented, involving the placement of an outboard motor on the back end of a seakayak. Maybe some of the mechanically inclined engineering types could comment on the handling characteristics of a seakayak boosted by an 18 hp outboard motor. This sport might appeal to both young and old, and there would be no excuse for being late for supper. End Quote: When I worked for Southwind in Irvine, there was a guy who came in and was working on SOT kayaks with Jetski motors. I saw at least two he built, but never got to try one on the water. I never could understand what functional niche this was filling, as I'd imagine it wasn't as much fun to paddle, and probably didn't work all that well as a Jet Ski either!
