Manitou 13
 

 

 

Length: 12'10.5"

Width: 24.75"

Weight: 45lbs

Cockpit: 34.5"x16.25"

 

$829

The ultimate in versatility, the Manitou is a recreational kayak with a hint of British charm. At 12' 10.5" this boat gives the feel and glide of a touring boat with the stability and comfort of a recreational kayak. From its fine bow entry to the nicely finished stern, this kayak is a straight tracking boat with plenty of initial stability and a comfortable seating position. The cockpit size allows for good ease of entry and exit without being so huge that the paddler is lost in the boat. The standard water resistant stern hatch and bulkhead provide enough storage for a day on the water along with buoyancy for safety. The Manitou’s compact size and low weight make carrying or car-topping an easy task.
 
Manitou 14
 

Length: 14'4"

Width: 24"

Weight: 49lbs

Cockpit: 35.5"x16.25"

 

$1029

The touring version of the popular recreational kayak, the Manitou 14 is generous with its stability and comfort. The cockpit size remains very accommodating for entry and exit, and keeps the weight down for easy transporting.  Plus, there's a standard retractable skeg for enhanced tracking and trim.
 
Manitou II  Tandem
 

Length: 14' 8"

Width: 28"

Weight: 75lbs

Cockpit: 35"x 17"

             48.5"x18"

 

$1149

Paddling buddies spoke and Necky listened: introducing the Manitou II, an incredibly versatile tandem with the feel and glide of a touring boat, and the stability and comfort of a recreational kayak.  Its relatively compact size still  allows for easy in and out cockpits, and its relatively low weight makes carrying or car-topping easier than most tandems. With an optional rudder system, it's just 'Tou II cool!' Designed for one, two or three people (two adults and a small child).

Options: Rudder system; Deluxe kids jump seat with 6" hatch

 
Zoar Sport
 

Length: 14'

Width: 25"

The Zoar Sport is easy to maneuver both on and off the water. Its 25" beam combined with the diamond hull design offer incredible stability making it a perfect choice for beginners, fishing enthusiasts, photographers and bird watchers. The Zoar Sport’s big cockpit is easy to get in or out of and is very roomy for “all day” comfort. Rubber hatches secure the sizeable cargo holds and waterproof bulkheads keep gear safe and dry. Affordable and always reassuringly solid on the water, the Zoar Sport offers a great introduction to the sport of kayak touring.
 
Chatham 16
 

Length: 16' 5"

Width: 22"

Weight: 59lbs

Cockpit: 34.75"x 14.25"

 

$1729

The flowing lines of the Chatham series are inspired by classic British designs. The 16 is built to minimize windage, have great maneuverability and superb rough water performance. The hull has a very full chine, which provides great stability for a boat of this beam and quick response to edging and lean turns. Volume in the bow is carried well forward ensuring good resurfacing characteristics when riding through wind waves or punching surf. A drop skeg, three bulkheads and water resistant VCP hatches complete the package. This boat truly excels at coastal exploration through surf zones, rock gardens and convoluted rip tides. Polymer construction yields amazing durability and resiliency
 
Chatham 17
 

Length: 17' 1.5"

Width: 21"

Weight: 63lbs

Cockpit: 33.5"x 17.75"

$1729

This seventeen footer features a fine bow entry and a sleek stern to offer exceptional glide and efficiency. The rocker is less pronounced than the Chatham 16, resulting in stronger tracking and greater hull speed. The 17 sits comfortably on edge just like its longer and shorter siblings and responds quickly to a deliberate paddle stroke. The adjustable outfitting is relaxed and roomy, offering great comfort while still providing positive fit for aggressive edging and rolls. Three VCP hatches (two oval and one round day hatch) are standard on the low profile deck. A retractable skeg operated by our own kink free "Necky Wire" completes the package giving the Chatham 17 bomb-proof tracking in even the most severe conditions.
