I've had a Torque for 3 years now and find it is the most versitile kayak I've owned(out of 8). I use a 32amp battery for local fishing as I paddle when I am fishing(drifting eels and casting) and it lasts for 3-4 hours. I have a 76amp battery which I use when I'm going on longer trips.
Last year I took the ferry to BI and launched at Old Harbor. I fished at SE light for 3-4 hours and then went to SW point and Black Rock. We finally had to hustle back to Old Harbor to get the last ferry.
I used the motor extensively during this 9 hour outing and the battery died 100 yds from the launch point.
I like the Torque as I fish in close to the rocks mostly drifting eels and if I have a striper on and she is pulling me into the rocks I can hit reverse and pull her out to resume the fight. The best part is that after a long night of fishing I can turn the motor on and relax on the way back enjoying the night.
