We did a lake test of Nauti Dog using two Honda GX35 Small Outboards with a full load and towing gear in a kayak. We are very pleased with the light weight and propulsion these small units provide. Thank you Kayakbuddys.com.

Wonderful. In the first part I looked at the expressions on the dogs and tried to read what they were thinking about being on the boat, but on the second part you could see their attitude was very different - a bit like kids continuoulsy thinking "Are we there yet?", That is the first twin motor setup I have seen on a TI (I have an eVolve). Thanks for the video.

Hello, Mcoop571... It is a 12 gauge piece of stainless steel that I bent to 90 degrees, then I cut out the areas I did not need, such as the rear cargo area. I will try to post you some pictures shortly. Take care,

In addition, I made some holes in the stainless in order to us large zipties to strap the transom down to the deck lashing points.

Hello, Wings! We are on Medina Lake, Northwest of San Antonio, Texas. We love Medina Lake and the Media River for boating, sailing, and kayaking. Most of our videos are on this lake and we usually launch at the PR37 Bandera County Medina Lake Park. (Coords 29.564635, -98.955223)

They sound quieter than my new Honda 2.3hp. Do you think one KayakBuddys motor would top out an AI with little gear.
@adamekk9kayaking4562 жыл бұрын
Hello, LMJohnson. We started with just one motor for a year, it was plenty for us to get around with two people and three dogs and gear. We stored it inside the hull, whenever we had no wind to sail. They are very handy units, and will run almost an hour on a tank. Take care, from Texas.

Looks like doggone fun......do u ever use the sail and the mirage drives?
@adamekk9kayaking4565 жыл бұрын
Hello Marcus. Thank you! We still use the sail and drives quite a bit... unless there is no wind or we are towing a kayak full of gear. The fuel tanks give us about an hour of run time, so we usually carry spare fuel. If we go out with a light load we still enjoy sailing... take care and thanks for commenting!

what is the weight capacity on a platform like this? I'm 6'2 240lbs and would like to know if something like this one support me while fishing
@adamekk9kayaking4564 жыл бұрын
Hello, Steven. The Hakas are made out of aluminum bleacher seating, they can carry a lot of weight... My wife and I both stand and sit on one with no issues.. The Amas will go under water with weight, before the Hakas have issues. Bleacher seating websites state +100# per square foot. I would not worry about weight capacity if you go this route. They have served us 5 years with no issues. I believe my plans are still on the Hobie Forum... "aluminum hakas". Please ask if you have any further questions and take care!

@@strongme80 Hello, Michael. We are guessing the speed with no crew and cargo is about 10 mph, maybe 8 with crew and cargo. We usually leave the outboards in the hull for backup... but it is nice to have the option. Take care, from Texas.

Hello, adamek ,can you tell me the diameter of Floating platform on both sides?I want to transform my kayak into your boat. Thank you.
@adamekk9kayaking4565 жыл бұрын
Hello Hing-sang Hum, the floating platforms are called Amas. The vessel is a 2014 Hobie Tandem Island and the Amas and Ama Arms comes with the Kayak. As for the rectangular platform... I made the 7'-6"x 30" Aluminum Hakas. I hope the information below answers your question. Take care. Plans: Aluminum and Carpeted Hakas by Adamek K9 Kayaking I thought I would share my design for carpeted decks for our 2014 TI. (6) P21007.5ML 2 x 10 x 7-6 Mill Finish Aluminum Plank ($470 w/S&H) by www.markstaar.com (12) EC-210/WH Aluminum End Cap w/ Rivets by www.markstaar.com (16) CL-STD/WH Clip Set with Hardware by www.markstaar.com (1) 10’ x 6’ 16oz Boat Carpet - Blue ($60) by www.boatcarpetbuys.com (2) Rubber/carpet mats, split to wrap the Aka Bars ($10) by Lowes. Stainless Hardware: SS 10 x 24-3/4” Washers, Lock Rings, Nuts, Pan Screws. SS 10 x 24-1” Washers, Lock Rings, Nuts, Pan Screws SS 5/16 x 5” Bolts with Washers, Nuts, and Wing Nuts Kayak Handles - Austin Canoe & Kayak Pad Eyes - Austin Canoe & Kayak Cleats - Austin Canoe & Kayak Weight of each Haka is 45#. 1. Drilled holes and bolted the 2” sides of the planks together. 2. Drilled holes and bolted ½” Aluminum Tube to the underside of the three planks. 3. Wrapped (not glued) the carpet around the deck, and bolted the ends to the returning sides of the planks. 4. Added Pad Eyes, Cleats, and Handles to sides of planks. 5. Slightly bent the end caps, in order to press fit, rubber hammer into place to hold down carpet. 6. Used ½” Aluminum Tube and Plank Hardware, carriage bolts and wingnuts to hold down on Akas.
