It looks like health issues are gonna push me toward a powered kayak.
Missed out on the one Jim Sammon's had for sale so I'm open to options.
Need to stay near 13 ft or less . tks

I imagine it is a good kayak. But in the end, it is just a kayak with a motor. If you want a motor, you might as well get some space and speed...

It is not mine, but I would be all over it if the timing was right.

Something people sometimes overlook with these powered kayaks is that to be legal in Ca they have to have CS numbers, and taking them into Mex is a lot different than a paddle or peddle boat. Have not heard of enforcement of these rules but that's' the letter of the law
