looks gimmicky to me

give me a 14ft SOT that weighs 45lbs unloaded, and a carbon paddle and now we're talking.

I think its funny that it mentions "designed specifically for California coast". The 'raptor' does not look like what I would grab to fish pretty much anywhere most of us fish saltwater. I guess on the right day, you could fish anything anywhere.

BUT, I'll reserve true judgment until I see one in person or OTW :smt003.

Cool, a sit-inside that's too wide/awkward to perform a proper roll. That's perfect for the ocean!

Then, just for kicks, add the Torqueedo for some extra weight.

hmmm yeah sit in...not really the best idea seems like the flared sides would be in the way on your paddle stroke. Oh well best of luck. You'd think a local would have been involved with NCKA on some level

I agree with you guys, not what I would expect from a local. In that I primarily fish Bean, I'd be spending most of my time bailing the Batyak cockpit.
