I’m interested in either the 15.5 or 13.5 Kraken and wondered if anyone knew where I can demo one.

Headwaters no longer carries Jackson.  I called CCK in Sacramento and although they will order a Jackson, they no longer stock them.

Thanks in advance.

Bill

Not really sure on shops but maybe a memeber or two here will volunteer to let you try their Kraken

Good luck! It’s a solid kayak

Thanks for the offers.  I’ll PM you to see what free time you have to meet up.

Do you guys strictly use your krakens in the ocean or do you fish fresh water as well?

I used mine in fresh water quite a bit. It’s definitely not the best for rivers which I did do a couple times, but lakes it was great. I don’t stand up and fish that much so I didnt mind the narrower hull. I added a couple rails so I could put rod holders on for trolling, along with a rudder

My primary purpose would be to use it as a means to fish lakes and possibly ocean.  It would also be used for exercise and cruising the delta.

I wished Headwaters still carried Jackson.  I would be happy to support a local company that encourages demos.

Thanks for the info!  I might have to make a trip to Lake Tahoe.  Can you give me some more details on the Kraken demos you have for sale?

Thank you.

He stated he had demos for sale.  I’m asking for details regarding his boats for sale.

The 2018 demo is a 13, Rockfish color only used a few times.  I have multiple 15 Elites. They are a few model years old. 2 still new, in Sunrise and Sexy Shad colors.  4 used, sunrise, camo, lime green, and purple/blue/pink color ways.  The lime green has a landing gear installed.  I have optional rudder kits that I can work a deal on if you'd like. I will get a price list together when I get a chance. Shoot me a text at 530-314-3523 and I'll get prices and pics to you if you'd like.

Thanks
-Kyle Anderson
