Interesting. I hope this gets wide publicity among the folks who sell kayaks, especially here in Florida (where, as we all recall, several of the terrorists spent a good deal of time).

Terrorists in kayaks may sound silly, but the boats are very quiet and low-profile and can zip along in just a few inches of water. Granted, they wouldn't be going very fast if they had 600 pounds of something in them, and they'd certainly need enough water under them to hold them up. Here in Florida, I'd watch for them around shipping along the coast or the St. John's - and near nuclear power plants, which are, of course, located on rivers that are filled with perfectly innocent recreational kayakers. What better cover?

Motor mounts on canoes are rated up to 5 horsepower which will move one right along.I use larger engines all the time but for quiet running a high power trolling motor is perfect and faster than you would think.

There would be no problem putting motor mounts on kayaks either.

Knowing what I can do with my rigs makes this article pretty spooky.
