I say it again..I'm waiting for the kayak that has a TM,small gas motor,at least 2 live wells with aerators,a locking box for tackle and rods,a deck to stand on and light enough that I can load it on my truck by myself. Oh, and I want it in a black/white combo,you know sort of like an Orca.

It all has to do with what is deemed a fair playing field in tournaments. No one I know has anything against motors. Heck many of us are intrigued by them, but we do have a problem with putting yaks with motors in the same competitive class as paddle boats. It's just too much of an advantage. Have a separate division for motorized boats. It's pretty simple. If tournament organizers do that, there are zero issues. Totally agree^^^ If you put a motor on it, it's no longer a yak, it's a powerboat. Agreed^^^

I'm all for it.. the more the merrier. Let the pedal boys be the pizz and moaners for a while.  How does it feel? just kidding.. kinda.  P.S.. I thought when they started putting pedals in them they were no longer kayaks.

I've only fished one kayak tournament, but I've fished fished more tournaments out of a bass boat than I can count. I'm totally against motorized yaks. If you want to have a motor on something you can throw in the back of your truck get a canoe with a square back and roll on with it. To me, you have a kayak because its simple, it's not meant to have a motor, electronics, and all the other bells and whistles you find on a bass boat, although I get it with the fish finders. As a kayak angler, I would never enter a tournament that allowed motorized yaks just for the principle of it. In all actuality, it seems more of a marketing scheme to keep die-hard kayak folks from out growing the sport and getting a power boat.

I think someone needs to make a kayak thats super large,one that several people can get into. Put a cooler,and tackle box in. Maybe even a trolling motor plus a large out board motor on the back of it.
I got that covered. It's called a Champion Bass Boat.....I may be seen on one at an unidentified local lake in the morning. Or not...

Problem solved, just heard from a person organizing an EK (Electric KAYAK) tournament. Some may not like them (as expressed in this thread) but they are here to stay. Once again, the tourney director will design the event as they see fit, join in if you like or not.

If you put a motor on it, it's no longer a yak, it's a powerboat. Agreed^^^ yep. im less likely to participate in that tourney. dont think many yak anglers would continue to participate in that tourney either. kinda like steriods in sports. not really fair to the others that dont play butt darts  shouldnt anglers w/motor powered yaks compete in tourneys with others that are motor powered and not human powered?
