Buy a proper boat that won't be as affected by the currents and wind

Crikey, though mine was big at 4.1m long. 5.6m! Would need a longer car I reckon!

We do have some nice Kaskazi kayaks in at work at the moment, but a bit out of my price range.

Where did you find that? I have the rudder attachments at the stern and the foot rests that convert to rudder controls but I couldn't find a motor that fitted to them.

EDIT: In fact, it looks like a standard Minn Kota motor that someone has converted. Interesting.

Well I'll take home the Minn Kota I have here and see if it looks like it will adapt to fit the rudder screws at the stern of my kayak.
