It was only a matter of time. I like the retractable prop, they just raised the bar.

Am curious to see more about the adjustable pitch prop, seems like that may make a huge difference versus other prop driven kayaks.

Three blades can actually be less efficient than two blades, most planes only use three blades when there are clearance problems. It will be interesting to see how this develops

New video on Jackson FB shows the drive a bit better. Looks like the adjustable pitch prop might have 3 settings (low med high) but doesn't look adjustable on the fly.

I know it's a prototype, but the rudder looks horrible. No way to lift the kayak from the front to place a cart under without all the weight sitting on the rudder.
