I have a 14' x 5' Pondtoon, only power is a 40lb thrust Minn Kota foot contoled trolling motor.  It's my crappie catching machine. Since this picture was taken I've upgraded to Wise big man seats with arm rests. I fish private lakes and the owner hates Crappie in his lakes so I keep track of how many I catch. 2290 last year but a little slow this year only 1237 so far but knee replacement surgery in the morning with slow that down even more.

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter - and unsafe.

Wow! I like that boat! Does it need a special trailer?

No, just a regular trailer, it's almost a cross between a pontoon and a tunnel hull, it has a flat bottom.

I hope the surgery and the rehab go well.  Really nice; well laid out and set up rig.  I have looked at those.  They seem to be a near perfect craft for still water if you can put in close to where you fish.  I wish they were around back when I duck hunted.

Sweet looking ride there Blackhawk. I like it a lot. I don't crappie fish, but I would in that! It looks roomy enough.

Does a Hobie Pro Angler 14 count as a boat?

If it floats and you can fish out of it; it's a boat.  I have wished many times I had a decent Kayak.
And yours is a really nice kayak.

Try craigslist for your area. That's where I found mine. It wasn't the one I wanted but I saved a bunch of money and I'm really happy with my OK.

I maintain an Otter brand Final Attack 8-footer, 44" beam.  I have a choice of 2 different Power Plants, a Minn Kota Endura30 for Fresh, and a Minn Kota Riptide40 for the Salt.  I'm pondering rigging the beast for Twin Motors so I can walk the vessel, but haven't taken any steps in that direction.  The rig, as it sits now, has Manual Trim & Tilt, Nissan Frontier Trailer, DieHard Marine Platinum fuel tank, Yeti YT50 Seat that doubles as a Fish Box.  She's rigged right, Boys, and tops-out at just under a jog.
