so your talk'in about a 4 to 6 hp engine on the back of that raft? maybe alittle more practice on that kayak would help. advise the camara to be h2o proof.....

Some of those rafts have bigger motors than that but if a wake or wave hits you the wrong way it won't take much to roll you.

thanks for the education on boat wakes and what damage they can do to a kayak...I'll be on the lookout for wakes next time I'm on sd bay(in the kayak).Would not want to lose all my gear because some a-hole boater's wake rolled me!

I'm pretty sure the military uses 55hp motors on their rafts. They will put up a pretty good wake.
