The Bixby kayak motor is so far, the best fit for a kayak that I have ever used. It's too easy to overpower a tiny plastic boat that is only designed to go 5 or 6 miles an hour tops. For the backwater, protected areas that I like to explore and fish, you don't need much. Surely there are some that might argue that you don't need ANY motor. The purest paddlers often say that. But if you have any physical issue that prevents you from getting on the water for any length of time, you might find that opinion to be more of an option. A rule that can be bent so you don't spend another Saturday on the couch.
No motor that I've found so far is absolutely perfect for various reasons, but this little fits juuust right.
