    Bet you can't get it to the water hands-free.

      The way I interpret "Hands Free" would be some type of foot powered propulsion system. Strange it would have a horizontal paddle park and foot pegs??

            DOnt see pedals on her in any pics so leads me to electric but OT could have come up with some glider operated propulsion device without pedal apparatus.

            If you dont go, you wont know, and you got to have bait in the water.

              I'm thinking it's operated by brain waves.

                  is that some sort of cutout in the stern to accommodate a prop unit? and a sliding pedal mounted in a track with a place (orange) to attach cable,..

                    Magnetohydrodynamic or "caterpillar drive"

                      Caterpillar drive would be so awesome, and so expensive...60mph kayak. I would use it to pay back the glitter boys that love coming by sooo close when I'm fishing

                        It's for the peddle shaft and paddle wheels:

                          Hahaha, that would definitely be easy to load and land fish on
