Great durable kayak that can be made awesome!

An inflatable kayak is unparalleled in terms of quality and price. As many have said, the kayak has double walls and the inflatable part is protected by a THICK strong coating. I sailed this kayak off Lake George, 2 miles off the Malibu coast. I've launched this kayak in 4 foot waves off the coast of Malibu with no problems. Other kayaks capsized in the waves while my fully loaded kayak was completely stable. I've noticed that a lot of people have tried installing a trolling motor. I experimented with different designs and settled on a PVC design. I bought a ยฃ28 $30 trolling motor from Craigslist and made a cross brace out of 1" PVC (I use 80 gauge PVC for the joints, it's much stronger than the typical white PVC). 1" PVC is perfect for the rear bar holders. From there you can make and add connections to make disassembly easier. I have a 50Ah battery (yes, it holds the weight with no problem) in the battery compartment. I have uses 2 strap wrenches to tie together the trolling motor board, pvc brace and battery box. I cut 3/4" birch plywood, stained and painted it with Krylon alloy paint. Remember the trolling motor is enough without a cross has torque moment to warp kayak at high speed Top of kayak with Aerospace Protectant Trigger Sprayer after a few outings Edit: Added pictures CF# just fell off and now I just keep them in a ziplock bag.
