Interesting kayak, but I'm a sucker for anything named Viking :smt044

~$2500-2900 depending on model and options.  Great looking kayak.  I am going to contact my NZ buddies and ask them their opinion of these yaks.  Weight is good, capacity is great and it looks fast.

A 30 year warranty too.

So same price point as the stealth pro fisha. Looks shorter, wider, slower and more stable than the stealth. The videos in wind look really nice though. Love to try one.

Doesn't look like any internal storage if you're looking for that sort of thing.  But in general it seems like a lot of manufacturers are having smaller and smaller hatches.

I like this type of kayak with MODULE design. I think the fishing Kayak should design this way.

Not sure where you got that price but $1349 and $269 for the rudder upgrade on ikayakfish and austin kayaks. Dan at headwaters now has them as well.

Yeah, I was going to say, "Doesn't Dan already have these?"  Either it's not new news or Dan is cutting edge.

Ok let's get some details strait. They are not 2k not sure where that price came from. $1199- $1399. They are bran new in the states and we are the only one in nor cal to bring them in. We ordered every color and accessory to make sure we can serve anyone who is interested. We also got a few with minor shopping damage that I could do a sweet deal on. Several guys have been testing them for us and we should have some more reviews up soon. I paddled with Bill all weekend and he said it was the best ocean fishing kayak he had ever paddled. Which says a lot because he has also fished from a stealth. Here are a few photos from our trip to Albion.

This is definitely a kayak worth testing out! Very ocean worthy and fast! Turns fast and launches over the waves with ease.  Loved the modular center counsel with the inset transducer mount. Makes rigging a fishfinder a no brainer!
