If you want to make a powered vessel out of a kayak, the best way to go would probably be an electric trolling motor. I've seen a number of yaks with Minn Kota trolling motors attached

I think both the X-Factor and the OK Prowler Elite 4.5 (NZ/Oz version) have a flat spot on the tank well for mounting a Minn Kota trolling motor. I'm pretty sure that the Prowler 4.5 even had the nut inserts for mounting the trolling motor.

The battery is heavy, but it's still got to be better than having a gasoline-powered motor.
