Has anyone fixed or seen an outboard on a sitontop kayak?
Each year I consider a boat, but in practice the sitontop kayak is everything we need minus a motor!
It is easy to carry some split paddles incase of motor failure so a lot safer than a small inflatable.
But.. can you fix a petrol outboard to a sitontop kayak? I would want to fit it to a Cobra Tandem sitontop kayak. I know you can fit electric motors but they don't look much fun! and expensive for what they are. I guesse they choose electric motors because they are lighter and the heavy battery can be fitted inside the kayak to keep stability.
Reckon I could pick up a cheap petrol outboard , but not sure how I would fix or what HP I could use without making the kayak tip over (I assume it has to be fitted from the side?
Anyone seen it or tired it? Thanks ;>)
