A kayak boat has traditionally been the way to get a workout while enjoying time on the water, but the 'KMB' aims to change this by offering a new way to get around. Outfitted with a gas-powered engine, the 'KMB' kayak is capable of being an effective vessel for enjoying a leisure cruise on lakes, rivers and more.
Available now for preorder on Kickstarter, the 'KMB' kayak -- standing for kayak, motorboard and boat -- is lightweight in design to make it easy to get in and out of the water. Moreover, it's outfitted with a drink holder and a fishing rod holder to make it a great kayak boat for partaking in some solo fishing without having to utilize a regular size boat.
