I may also add a small plug in transom to the universal cross bar for my 14 lb. thrust electric trolling motor.  The telescoping arm of the side float passes directly through it.  This will be less expensive and a lot less work than selling the MS and doing a sailing kayak and trailer set  up. It just makes sense, now that I think about it, to make a few additions to the MS to get the comfort and  stability I want, rather than trying to make a comfortable, stable sailboat out of a kayak. Most important, NO  HOLES WILL BE DRILLED in Roger Crawford's precious Melonseed for these modifications. He doesn't  have to faint! I can quickly remove everything in a few minutes, and no one would be the wiser. Well, except  for those cleats in the four corners, which have already been there for a few years.  In addition, I get to keep all the Melonseed's advantages. The boat's hardware all just plain works. Garage  storage is already worked out. My weight represents a smaller percentage of the boat's carrying capacity than  any of the kayak alternatives. The cockpit is dry and has plenty of room. There should still be space for a  grand kid or two, even with this gear in place. Temporarily remove it, and I could carry all three. I hope the  aluminum cross bar and gray floats won't detract too much from the Melonseed's looks, but if they get the job  done, who cares? Bet if this works and I post it to the Melonseed email group, the choir will have a  hemorrhage.  New Melonseed Trimaran? They've sold a few Sea Pearls that way!  133
