Kayak de pêche Pelican Boost 100, 10 pi

I bought this on an in store clearance sale. I can't believe what an incredible value this is!! Every year I rent a canoe to go backcountry camping in Algonquin, but decided to buy this kayak. Benefits: -Amazingly stable, with the twin hull design. -Sit-on-top design allows you to haul gear. -Easy to paddle, especially compared to solo paddling a canoe Drawback: -Hard to portage, but I am not deducting any stars for this. It is just that this is what it is for any sit-on-top kayak. So just make sure to pick your route that minimizes portages, or camp on larger lakes. Just got back from a multi day camping/fishing backcountry trip in Algonquin. I really pushed the limits of the 300lb rating of this kayak. I'm 6'3" tall, I have a Labrador retriever, and with camping gear = approx 280lbs. At no point was I worried about safety/stability. I put my backpack in the front, my lab sat at the back platform. The only drawback of doing this is that the kayak is not evenly loaded, with a rear weight bias (again not a fault of the kayak), when loaded up like this, water comes up through the bum scupper hole, so your bum gets wet. I ordered some scupper hole plugs online to remedy this. By myself just fishing on the lake water coming up the scupper holes was not a problem.

Decided to purchase a kayak for an upcoming cottage stay. Went with this sit-on model, as it was the same price as the same non-fishing model and my husband liked the fishing option. If you are new at kayaking or worried about getting in and out, then I definitely recommend a sit-on type like this. It's very easy to get on and off and it is extremely stable. This is more for a casual ride on the water, as it is not what I would call aerodynamic, and therefore not built to race in. But if you are looking for stability, comfort and ease, then this is definitely a great choice! One thing to note - online it says a weight capacity of 250 lbs. The attached info card that comes with the kayak says 300 lbs.

purchased on sale @ canadian tire in napanee , I can't swim and with a good pfd i felt safe tracks well.I watched you tube on rowing techniques helped quite a bit!
