Motor was given to me by a friend. probably 30-40 bucks worth of hardware from home depot. Plug unit $17 online. Cf#'s? We dont need no stinking cf#'s. Im rocking this shit kayak ninja stealth mode.....unless you are oc sheriff, coastguard or lifeguard, in that case ill get them tomorrow. seriously though I've never heard of anyone actually getting questioned about thier motor on a yak. Most of it is bellow water, its silent and I don't plan to do doughnuts around harbor patrol, so I think I'll be safe from the law.

I was stopped by the harbor patrol to talk about an unrelated matter, he saw my motor and did not say a single word about it. If you are polite and smile, you'll be cool. Worst case scenerio (you are testing and planning on getting the numbers this week)

[William Novotny]

My thoughts exactly. A little bit of politeness goes a long way. I cant wait to test this baby out. Im thinking 8 mph no problem.

Welcome to the darkside!


I took Matt's advice and skipped the CF(I blame him if I do eventually get in trouble ). i've been stopped and not a word was mentioned about the motor...they checked my catch but that was it.


I don't think you'll get 8, maybe 5-6 tops.


I get up to 4mph in my F&D...but that's a slow hull with myself(235lbs) a 70lb trolling battery(you're going to need a big one) and all my gear. I estimated my rig at 350ish lbs(plus hull weight) when loaded. That didn't include 3-4 gallons of saltwater in the bait tank @ 8.8 lbs per gallon.

I'm running a 35/36lb(I don't remember which) motor. If you can get 8 out of your 40lb I'll switch to a 40lb immediately....please let me know.

I likes it!! I went a different route though... I have not been on the water yet, but let me tell you, I can't wait. I'll probably make it to salt creek from baby beach in about a half hour, vice, 1hr 45 min paddling.

Don't know what all the hub-bub is about CF #'s....This year it's $29. And considering the fine without one; cheap I say!

Besides, who the hell wants to be nice to Sheriffs, DFG, and life guards so they will over look your numbers. All they get from me is a simple nod, and carry the F-on.
