Taso Aifantis of Tastech Industries, otherwise known as our very own Brown Hornet to our members, is the creator of the 'Stealth Serpent' drop-in Jarvis Walker Watersnake motor (among other things) for Hobie mirage kayaks. Within the following clips he demonstrates what the Stealth Serpent is exactly, how it's installed, powered and used. Essential viewing for those interested in an electric motor system for their Hobie. Also as part of the demonstration videos Tas also shows off the wide-base heavy duty wheelcart he constructs to deal with the added weight of the motor battery. A side note that may be of interest to readers is that Tas and I have collaborated on a design intended for the Adventure Island and it's quite likely that I'll be putting the first prototype to the test this weekend. More on that later.
