I can see it for doubles and dinghies but for single kayaks you might as well learn to roll and paddle with buddies. Emptying a double is too much work and getting the water out is essential. At the marina there's lots of dinghies that are half full of water after a few weeks of hard rain, that's where this kind of item would find customers. People have a couple days to work/play on their boat and there's 40gallons of water in the dinghy, they could plop the portable pump in it and go on to other chores instead of sitting in a tippy dinghy full of cold water. Where they're not wearing wetsuit booties and a drysuit.
