Proud to announce my Jackson Kayak Big Rig will be fitted with the state of the art Torqeedo 403 Ultralight Kayak Electric Motor!! Weighing only 16 pounds total it is the top electric motor kayak solution on the market.

I am looking forward to using this setup mainly for HOW outings due to the speed allowing to now shoot more video transport bait resupplies and also carry snacks and drinks to the Veterans.

Adding an electric motor to your kayak may require you to title and register the boat with your states Motor Vehicle Commission.  In some states you must have a boat license or certification to operate a power boat.

I am completely pumped about this new setup. Please check back for my write-up on the install, use, care, and all of the things associated with adding an electric motor to your kayak.

Now that’s a BIG BOAT!!! The Big Rig is the perfect name for this kayak! I honestly didn’t know how massive this boat really is! Cant wait to get out on the water and paddle it. The lakes are all frozen still and snow is expected tomorrow night. The Big Rig will live in its plastic bag for a little longer. I must say it is tempting this boat may need a Torqeedo on the back!. In case you don’t know what a Torqeedo is it is an electric motor that was designed specifically for a kayak. Check back for the unveiling and rigging!
