Abstract

The motorized kayak includes foot pedal operated steering, and a selective lever that controls the polarity and speed of an electric motor, which can be retracted when not in use, as can the aft rudder. The kayak preferably has a topside axial enclosure, which may be rendered watertight and used as a bait tank or other liquid container, and typically at least one additional enclosure positioned transversely to the axial enclosure, which may or may not be watertight. These enclosures are preferably configured with the upper surfaces of their covers at a single level, for use collectively as an extended, relatively flat fishing seat.
