the ultimate kayak
I know the purists won't like it, but I thought this was awesome. I'm just wondering how much this beast would cost.

Re: the ultimate kayak
Misnomer, it's a jet propelled plastic john boat, not a kayak under any definition........

One of the definitions states that kayak is just a portable boat styled like the Eskimo kayak.

Oops, I just realized I put this in freshwater. I meant to put it in kayak rigging.

Re: the ultimate kayak
That doesnt look like any Eskimo kayak I ever saw and it is sure not the first motorized kayak.

well basically none of the modern kayaks look like Eskimo kayaks. If we went Strictly by the definition that kayak is a Eskimo boat propelled by a 2 bladed paddle, hobie kayaks would be kayaks since they're propelled by the mirage drive.

I like it. It looks like a jet powered Pro Angler to me. Like the joy stick steering.

I also thought the joystick was pretty cool and interesting.

Re: the ultimate kayak
I like it also!
More fishable and a lot more wind friendly than a jet ski.
It probably will catch on if the price isn't outrageous.

Exactly! It seems perfect for long trips offshore. But I'm guessing 4 or 5 grand for the price. Probably even more though.

More like 6-7k. But would be cool to blow by a big PA. I'm seriously researching this thing. I agree with Boomy, it is definitely a boat. But, I likey.

Re: the ultimate kayak
That would make my SSA check feel insufficient. Still a neat idea.
