A few buddies had those and it’s pretty weak. But diy it for half the price, there isn’t a lot to it. Now keep in mind a good lithium battery is like $300-400 if you want to compare so that $1000 Bixby isn’t as far off as you may think.
Also FYI I plan to post a torqeedo evolve for sale for $850 soon

I don’t have any experience with the water snake but I do with the guy selling them. He spams kayak DIY and the various Hobie Facebook groups with these. When asked to stop he became combative and responded like a child. If you do purchase I wouldn’t expect a smooth support experience from him.

One thing I can say for Bioenno is the customer service was good. Each time a battery died they shipped out a replacement in a timely fashion. I also bought one of their 10 amp hour batteries for my fishfinder which has been working really well but for some reason there BMS was not holding up to my Minn Kota. |

I have one that I shortened for my outback, never used it and ended up buying a solo skiff. $100 if you're interested, will include a hobie plug to install it into.

I have a watersnake 24#. It works great for me. It has high and low switch with high being to fast to troll with and low is perfect. On my Feelfree Lure 13.5 kayak. I like it, weighs like 6lbs. I was using a much older 24# thrust motor that was twice the weight.
