This boat from rotomolded polyethylene is derived from the
successful fiberglass Skerray, with a marginally bigger rocker.
It also features a larger cockpit and thigh braces. This provides
easy entry and exit even for larger paddlers, while still
maintaining excellent contact with the boat. High density
linear polyethylene makes the boat practically indestructible,
although not heavier than the glass boat. It has a host of
equipment unheard of on plastic kayaks: it has watertight
polyethylene integral bulkheads, which will not leak or burst
off as often happens with other plastic sea kayaks. The kayak
has the watertight VCP hatches, front circular VCP hatch and
rear oval VCP 17 x 9.5" hatch for easy loading. The boat is
also outfitted with a retractable skeg. The skeg box is molded
directly into the kayak hull during the rotomolding process,
so it is not an afterthought as rudders on other plastic boats.
The kayak is equipped with recessed deck fittings, molded
directly to the kayak deck, so no protruding hooks. It has
a low, comfortable foam seat and wide backstrap. Because of
the bulkheads, the stiffening effect of the seat plate and
the superior material used, this boat is very stiff relative
to other plastic boats on the market.
Dimensions: 17' x 23"
