Do It! I was in on the very first OEX order, and only use my PA for kayak only tournaments anymore. I primarily only fly fish off of it also - this is off La Jolla a few summers ago. Three of us launched at the shores, fished from Torrey Pines State Beach all the way down to the Yukon and back like it was nothing. Pick up any 6 horse short shaft outboard (besides a Honda) and enjoy.
