It was great meeting you! We enjoyed hearing all about your 2:52 travels. We hope to cross paths with you again. Safe and fun travels to you!

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

So I looked up and north carolina requires you to register a kayak if you put a motor on it ?! I also need to register my big boat if I stay longer than 90 days so I have to definitely work on that so I don't get any citations. I moved the boat further out into the river and put stern anchors out so its not going anywhere

[@bmelton1957]

@@TheBoatingDiaries we had register the one had. We saw that you moved it. Is there an exception if you are just visiting?

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

No exceptions. But it's fairly easy to do online just uploading the registration etc and they mail you the new registration

[@imbystox]

better have a deadman switch on that thing.

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

It has the stock tether cut off switch

[@user-zc5gt4li2h]

did the 3.5 outboard feel like it was gonna tip

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

Not at all , will post more content soon with this setup ! Thanks for watching !!

[@MindBodySoulOk]

I have to tell you, when you took off across the river with the dinghy rolled up on it, and your bags on it, it was looking kinda sketchy

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

Just very uncomfortable and trying to balance myself . This thing is great ! However I will be using the roll up dingy if I need to load a boat into my van when i leave etc. Because the Kayak just takes up so much space in my van. The roll up dingy rolls up and I can put it out of my way in the van.

You still in New Bern? We're just down the river from there on Northwest Creek living aboard. Boat party?

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

Sounds fun lol

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

Oh I see your a little bit south of new bern

[@Joe-qw3lk]

Dude! I’m right down the river from you. Let’s hang out! I’m located in Trent Woods.

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

Are you ready to Buy one of these Kayaks ! Lol

[@user-zc5gt4li2h]

Do you think I could put a 4hp? I really want reverse

[@TheBoatingDiaries]

I bought an upgrade hit from ready set boat that is supposed to make the 3.5hp a 5hp with a bigger carb and aluminum prop. Going to get the kayak out in a few days. I think u could put a 9hp if u wanted to !

[@user-zc5gt4li2h]

there is a guy that does a lot of reviews and he said he tried to put a 5 hp on but it didnt work. I am assuming of weight of motor. @@TheBoatingDiaries
