good point about paddling this thing with the extra weight, It would be a challenge and not ideal, but doable if you are stranded.

on the rod holders, even on the angler editions, OK only has the flush mounts behind the seat that really aren't that useful. Rod holder placement is such an individual preference thing, they are better off just leaving it to the angler to install on their own.

I disagree what does the battery weigh? 30 lbs? I use my kayak for fishing and i weight it down many a time also briught back fish that weighed more than that.

yeah that's true I guess, I mean even with the battery maybe 50lbs tops. plus the motor is so streamlined there isnt' a ton a drag to hamper paddling.

don't get me wrong, I'm all over this thing when I can afford it!
