My father bought a 12' aluminum boat, a common size, with a 7 1/2 HP 
Evinrude outboard. Memories of horsing it onto the car top racks 
discouraged me from getting too big. The alternative is a trailer but 
that's another complication. I can inflate the kayak, throw it in the 
water, and paddle away while people are still waiting in line at the ramp.

The problem with the kayak is there aren't that many interesting lakes and 
they tend to be infested with power boats and JetSkis. The rivers are nice 
but I can't paddle upstream effectively locally.
