BFH,
Heh heh heh...
hang out for a bit and I'll see if I can get the picture of the new "Viking Kayaks Tempo" it has a SWEEEEEEEEEEET setup for that.
Minn Kota 40 lbs thrust trolling motor you're looking at about 900 bones. Weighs 17kgs and another 25kgs for your battery. Yamaha 2.5HP 2stroke is only 9kgs! and fully self contained. I am wanting to put one on a Scrambler XT But, the chief financial officer, a.k.a. "THE WIFE" wont release the funds.
This site might be of interest to ya.
Hmmmmmmm....
okay okay I feel like my idea is outdone... How about someone put a downrigger on their Kayak?
nah nah nah game poles mate and an outboard that can push you at trolling speed and a system to hole some 15 kg outfitts. what a machine!
b.m
Hey BFH,
Would one of these do the trick: http://www.powerkak.com
You even get a choice of outboard or jet power!
Sorta spoils the ascetics of kayak "PADDLE" fishing, doncha think?
Mercury have a range of small electric motors here, go see a merc dealer.
Oh, or call Matamata MArine, Ken should remember the motor and get you the details for you 07-888-7541. He does a top price for you too.
I got a little 1 or 2 hp jobbie for my MacBoat that I use for tootling out to the mouth of the Little Waipa on Karapiro, it works fine, but I wouldn't want to have to troll for hours with it or anything. However, on a kayak, mate, i suspect it'dwork way better and longer.
It was only $250 or so I think.
cheers, Stu.
Dogfish,
Mate that powerkak is out of control. Those damn lazy americans!
Looks like a weedeater engine to me. what happens if you dump it in the surf?
