Title: Recommendations for short 10 ft +/- yak to carry on back of RV
Post by: 5outta6 on September 03, 2017, 10:11:15 AM: I currently have a Ocean Trident 13 which I use around SF Bay and on lakes, but I want to carry a yak , vertically on the rear of my RV.

Anyone have any recommendations for a 10 ft or so, SOT for fishing on lakes?

thanks for any info.

Post by: scooter on September 03, 2017, 11:16:07 AM: I have a pescador 120 which is 12' but they make a 100 which is 10'. It is similar to a wildly tarpon but a little cheaper. Used to be sold at sports authority and maybe Costco? West marine sells a similar yak and calls it a pompano I believe. Mine has been a great kayak for me, built in rod holders, paddles excellent, comfy seat, lightweight. I have no complaints for what was s 400 $ kayak brand new on a good sale. I have no idea what they are asking now though.

Post by: Tinker on September 03, 2017, 02:47:53 PM: I'm partial to the seat in a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100, but you can't beat the mini-x for rigged weight. I could carry that with one hand.

Post by: bmb on September 04, 2017, 12:15:05 AM: Native Slayer Propel 10 would fit perfectly on the back of an rv, especially if you have some sort of gate to attach it to. That's because its got a nice flat stern. very stable, standable, pedal drive, about 60lbs in weight. Only problem is it's a bit on the expensive side for just a spare kayak.

-this is only sort of an advertisement for Native.
