Do they make kayaks you can mount a trolling motor onto?

A motor like this:

Well you can easily make a bracket to mount the motor, it's incredibly light. The problem is that you need a car battery to run the motor, and you will probably need a charging system too. I really wouldn't want to be riding around for any length of time with a lead-acid battery in the kayak with me. I mean what do you do if you capsize? I suppose it could be used to get to and from a larger boat from a dock or something like that, but as a main form of transportation it would probably defeat it's purpose. You could use it for a couple of hours to move the kayak, but then when the battery runs out of juice it will all just be extra weight that you have to paddle back to where ever you started from.
