Flipping the Bird,

     Took the Raptor out to SWS last Saturday for a  demo video.     Attempted to show  the stability and speed, as well as how to  self rescue.   

   

Great video Jim! Still haven't had a chance to demo but definitely plan to before I pull the trigger on a new one. Nicely done!

Ben

That's it ... I need one

That's a design to be very proud of.
Great job.

OK I'm a believer too!

Wonderful video - great examples of getting back into your boat! You are pretty limber, haha.

Side note - loved your music choice! The Monkee's!

  Thanks everyone !   
 
      I got confirmation that Capitola Bait and Tackle  on the wharf  is going to carry these for their rentals.  A great way to get a demo and also fish out of an extraordinary location.     His rates are very low too.  I think he mentioned 10 bucks / hr.        I caught my first Halibut off a kayak right there ,,, 15 yrs ago. 

Awesome video Jim!!!

 

I love paddling and diving off the Raptor. Really is an excellent boat!

Great news that Capitola boat and bait will be renting them!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Congrats on your success Jim, great to see a local guy do well!     

Great demo!  Wish I can add this SOT Raptor to my fleet right now.  Will see...

I'm a believer too and I haven't even tried it yet.  Great video Jim!

Sweet!!!

WoW!!! Congradulations!  I've thought the Raptor would make an excellent rental for newbies wanting to try kayak fishing!  Awesome news right there!

Cool video!!!the speed of that raptor is right on par with my cuda 14

Hey that was a great video! And you're pretty spry for an oldguy! 

I can attest to it's unrivaled stability...I paddle-boarded it down a river after 2 bloody marys & 3 Coors before lunch! Still waiting for Jerry to send me the pics LOL!
