I somehow followed some links and came across a site called "No Distractions" selling a "Dominick Greco Angler" package for $3900.  It consists of an OK Big Game and a bunch of add ons...

    * Minn Kota 55lb Thrust Riptide Motor
    * CoPilot Stabilizers
    * 3x Scotty Rod Holder
    * Expandable Push Pole & Stake Out Pole
    * Push Pole & Stake Out Pole Caddy
    * Anchor Trolley
    * Scotty Sea Safety Light
    * Poling Platform
    * Bimini Top
    * Adjustable Leaning Post

That's right, this thing is pimped to the extreme.  Obviously it's designed for Gulf Coast flats fishing.  Is it still a kayak?

Here's the link..

I looked into it a bit more and found more information and some images from Greco's own site...

That ceased to be a kayak when he put a trolling motor on it. Then again there's this...

Ah man.. I forgot about that battleship kayak.  That picture is really only the half of it.

Here's the "how to" link..
http://forum.kayak4fish.com/viewtopic.php?t=8443

I'd post some of the pictures from that post.. but I couldn't do it justice.  Seriously, check it out, it's insane.  Especially the wiring of the electronics and the reinforcements made ahead of time to handle the new modifications.

Why stop at one hull when you can have two? I saw one of these blasting out of a marina and I think I'd rather be in either a boat or a kayak.   www.craigcat.com

Or, why not just get one with 2 bedrooms and a bar, and you can fish out your sliding glass door?
