Edit: I learned that the speed I was able to achieve had nothing to do with the power of the pedal drive or me being out of shape. It happens to be the maximum hull speed of the kayak. Details can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed The square root of the length of the waterline times 4.5 results in a value of ~7.6 km/h for the Pelican Sentinel. Looking at the GPS speed, this seems to be pretty accurate. Who knew!
I had a pedal with fins. I could get it around 5ish mph full sprint. I sold it and got me a pwr 100 and put a 55# on it. I like so much better. (Plan on buying 10ft bass pro pond pwowler) It does around 4.7 loaded down and 5 if wind or current. Really good for dragging/trolling at lower speeds too. It's in my videos if you wanna see

Nice PFD
How did you get the drive in there if it’s pelican made?

Would this be fast enough to troll a lure?
Hmm, even if it were, it takes a considerable amount of energy to keep it at that speed.
