Once a motor goes on it its no longer a kayak but a boat.

This is true, especially here in NJ.. Hence the Registration and numbers ...
But let me tell you it gives you alot of additionial fishing options out on the water. Trolling & Bouncing eels off the bottom - again'st the tide. It also makes for quick location changes and there is nothing better then after 6hrs of fishing and you have a 2-3 mile trek back to your vehicle into the wind and tide

I am in the very early stages (and still getting the parts) to build one. I plan to make mine a little different, more like an inboard. Nothing will be above deck and it will be sealed. I picked up a trolling motor from an SB.com'er and plan to cut it up and get all the parts to fit below deck. (Mine will have outriggers and side pontoons along with a comfortable fighting chair and electronics) When it is complete I will have some photos. Yeah I will register it but that is no big deal.

My one question is...how to you attach a flying bridge to a yak?

I agree that on a human powered yak, you definitely have to keep your range in mind, mainly for the paddle/peddle back, because it can be a real bitch when you're tired or have a big fish in your lap but I wouldn't know!
