[WVKayaker]

Perception Acadia (13') for shallow rivers/streams and Necky Kyook (15') for the coastal stuff. I don't do more than class 2-3's. I am a paddler and cruiser!

The Hobies intrigued me, but I didn't like like to pedal! I have a good Trek 630 for that...

Potomac R. near Big Pool, MD!

Bad rotator cuffs on both shoulers and a torn bicep head on my right arm/shoulder limits any paddling.

I can stand up and paddle in reasonably calm water with my Freedom Hawks and their pontoon system. However, even with the better designed Pathfinder re going through the water, I’m limited about a minute of normal kayak paddling.

I have a Bass Yak conversion electric motor on my Pathfinder and will be buying a Torqeedo Kayak motor this spring. The new Torqeedo 403 Kayak motor is an incredible example of German engineering re battery life, power, ease of use and probable life of the unit and battery at less much weight of a normal marine battery and electric trolling motor.
