Just to be clear, does the jet/motor section float too?

And it fits inside the plastic insert tray on the PA14?!

It’s going on my birthday list [emoji3]

So legally I’m supposed to register as a vessel, but realistically I might not have to if I keep a low profile?

If you are using the mirage drive adapter mount, yes to be clear....it ALL FLOATS! Battery, adapter + bixpy. Go ahead throw the whole system over the side...yes it will float.

I guess technically you are supposed to register your kayak if you use a motor....but I haven’t, nobody has hassled me....yet. Should you? Your just gonna have to answer that question yourself.

Now with that said...I definitely prefer to use the rear mount for the bixpy plus the mirage drive so I’m using duel methods of propulsion. Like I said earlier in the thread, it seems to more than triple battery life compared to bixpy only. Now the rear mount is a lot more gear to setup and break down but the advantage cannot be denied.
