If you do not opt for a rowing / outboard package you should definitely consider the Tiller-Fix and a SUP paddle. The SUP paddle is fairly self explanatory and stores perfectly behind the optional hiking seats. The tiller-fix is a super simple contraption that essentially holds your rudder off to one side so you can paddle the XCAT exclusively from one side and still be able to track straight. This is a good way to make sure you can make it home for dinner, but without breaking the bank. Expandable from 70\
