: I've long been thinking about a 2hp Honda engine for my kayak. I know that many of you may not understand why someone would want to put an outboard motor on a kayak. I think it's just curiosity and a need to know. Anyone know of someone who has done this? Any knowledge of how it worked out?
I don't think I would put one on mine, but there's a shop in L.A. on Lincoln near Marina Del Rey (I think it's called Action Watersports), and they have the coolest looking little motor that has been installed in a Wilderness Systems SOT. It's a permanent installation, but it is slick. Supposedly the yak will reach 8-10 kts under power. You have to check it out if you're thinking about it. I'll try to dig up the address or number in the next day or two...
