I realize the down sides that you pointed out, and this is something I would probably never try. I just thought it was an interesting addon to small craft.
I live next to the Mon River in pittsburgh, which has a heck of a current and to go up river I have to run my Minn Kota 30 at 4 or 5 to make any headway. I realize that there is pollution involved with this motor, which is not good, but is not on the top of my priorty list concidering it is no more than a weed wacker. The Loss of stealth doesn't bother me because I usually Motor up river then float back down. I don't fish on the trip up because I have to keep my eyes open for large barges. Since I use my toon for alot of overnight camping trips, I always have flamables on board IE fire starters, lighter fluid ect...
Thanks for your input though.
