Default Trolling motor needed on my kayak. any ideas?

Hey Everyone. This is the best "rig it yourself" site I have ever seen! I Love It. If anyone can help I am certain you guys can.

I am trying to find a ready made or tried and true method of rigging a trolling motor with good thrust to my kayak. The issues include but are not limited to, how do I mount it (and unmount it)? What battery to use (size and weight are of course an issue)? What motor to use?

I would love to hear from someone who has done it but in the absence of that I would like you experienced input.

Background info: I have a Pelican Castaway kayak and love it. It is 11 ft 6 In long. Got the fishfinder going with a shoot through hull transducer. We have BIG lakes in Orlando and I need to get across them quickly. Every inch of lakefront property has a house on it and my put-in is sometimes a half mile or more from where I want to fish.

Your help is appreciated!
