I didn't get to go any distance or paddle it for a long period of time.yet. It moved across the water quite well, with ease. I was able to move the seat and foot rests further back to ajust the trim.Īs far as paddling, I was impressed. The other alternative is a boat over boat rescue.with an assisted re-entry.
I used a paddle float and was able to get in.only after I pumped and pumped water. There was no way to get back in un- assisted or with out an aide. The shirts kept out just enough water, to finally make some headway using the bilge pump. Well, lets see if having the bow and stern skirt on helps any. NO frigging way, OK, plan B, swim it to shore. I swamped the boat to see if those foam blocks would keep it afloat.Well, it didn't go to the bottom. I didn't feel the least bitĬompromised, from the boat chop.(with the skirts on) It took the boat wakes, and swells from those arogant, unsafe, DWHUA, 4th of July boat owners today very well. What did it do on the water, well, as they have said, not the least bit tippy. OK, back to loading, yes, much easier to pick up and car top. NOTE: this is not a comparsion to a FnD, these two kayaks have a total different use. and eliminate the need to pack a tent, for an overniter.Īs far as weight, it is much easier to load than my Fish and Dive. The removable seat allows enough room to lay out a sleeping bag, drop a skeeter net over the top. In liked the big cock pit, it has a ton of space to PMS. First I looked at the 14.5 solo and tandem, both of those have their advantages over each other. After looking at the Ultimates closer, they started to appeal to me. They were sitting on the rack in front of FTU, and I thought, well, it looks cool, but what is it? I didn't give it much thought after that until recently. Its open canoe-like cockpit offers ease of loading and unloading and makes this one of the premier fishing, hunting and camping kayaks on the water.Well, when I first saw these a year ago, I was not the least bit interested. This hybrid canoe/kayak is suited for bays, lakes and slow-moving rivers.
The patented, redesigned Tunnel Hull allows more foot comfort when standing and unmatched stability. Fore- and- aft multi-adjustable seating provide for proper trim, plus high and low seating positions allow you to paddle out of the wind in the low position and simply lift and relocate for a high fishing/sight-casting positions. These unique features gives the Ultimate FX Series a cult-like following. This hybrid fishing kayak offers the best of a canoe and a kayak with sturdy standing ability and easy loading.
