Have you test pedaled a MirageDrive boat yet? It's one of the better ways to help make tough decisions like yours. Many of our dealers provide Demo Programs. You can locate your local dealer through our dealer finder (hobiecat.com/support/dealers/­search/) and see about getting in one.

@BtownSean Our resident photographer hand held his camera, in housing, just below the hull while pedaling.

They can go just as fast as trolling moter and many people have put them on the boat by taking the plug and modifying it anyways. They can really move in the water.

Looks like Fish fins, good job.. How fast can it move that boat??

[NightDescendant]

Don't airplane props move in a perpendicular direction to travel? Take a closer look at the fins, they're not just flat things moving in the water

i just realized this, you cant just install these on any kayak. i do not have enough money to buy another kayak.. ill just go with the motor. these are awesome though

how did you guys film this? was someone in the water or did you have a camera mounted to the boat?

The fins are flexible. They basically work like a propeller blade in shape, but occillate back a forth under the hull. The fins reverses shape upon each change of direction. Very similar to the stroke a penguin uses with it's fins. Fast and tons of torque.
