I just ordered a AP120 and am already researching for ways to augment the power. I like the $7 airplane prop upgrade, and may get around to trying that, but adding a stern motor; something with 85lbs of thrust seems like a really nice option too. Not sure I'll want or need the extra power after taking it out a few times, but it seems like these kayaks are so stable, that they can and should be able to safely handle a lot more speeed, versus cruising with just a center mounted 45lb thrust trolling motor. Sure you can debate whether you want or even need more power, but I'd rather have too much power, than not enough. There is the added redundancy for safety to consider too, despite the added weight associated with a second 12v motor, powered by another 100ah battery. How about using a kite or sail for added power. Has anyone tred that?
