My Kayaks

15' 0" L x 24.00" W, Current Design, Vision 150, with Rudder,

Cockpit 35.20" L x 17.20" W, Composite Hybird, 48 lbs, Capacity 350 lbs

Very nice beginners Sit-In Kayak .

.

16' 10" L x 20.9" W, Stellar Intrepid LV, with Rudder and Skeg,

Cockpit 31.5" L x 16.93" W, Fiberglass, 43 lbs, Capacity 245 lbs

Very Fast, Stable, Tight Fit to my body (spell that as hard to get out)

.

17' 11" L x 20.2" W, Stellar 18R (R for Racing) with Rudder and Skeg,

Cockpit 33.5" L x 17.3" W, Fiberglass, 39.2 lbs. , Capacity 330 lbs

She is Very Fast, Not very stable (so my instructors say),

She also teaches me something new every time I take HER out,

Not as body tight fit as the Intrepid and that's a good thing

My Pics

Pump mounted under the forward deck

Note the foot peddles, bottom is for bracing, top is to turn the rudder - just like an airplane

Notice the dimples coming down, these are for the deck screws for the deck lins

They are a PITA as my toes touch them when trying to press on the rudder peddles!
