Autonomous side scan survey kayak

Been lurking in the background for a while now but I think I'm about ready to start work on my first build. What I'm envisioning is a dual trolling motor setup (skid steer) set on a 16 ft old town look 160T kayak. Once the autonomy is worked out I eventually want to incorporate a hummingbird or lowrance side scan unit on a teather to collect high resolution bathymetry and side scan data here in the Puget sound (Washington state) . I will be using the 16ft tandem So that I can "ride along" until I'm comfortable with the autopilot taking complete control at which point I will move the whole package to a smaller hull (single seat kayak more than likely). As I'm just getting started I would love to hear any suggestions or look at any relevant prior posts.
