I have an MK that works great in lakes but I wouldn't even consider it in the sound. Sure at slack tide with no wind it will get you around but for the dollars your'e going to spend, providing you buy a new one, you might as well just get yourself a good kicker. When the tides ripp'n with a lil wind a 9.9 yamadog harldy gets you going unless your going with the current. I think you will find yourself fighting the batteries more than you will be fishing. Spend the extra dough get yourself a good kicker..My 2 cents.

DOGOFF!
