Item description

This Fish and Dive Pro Explorer Kayak is in truly excellent condition. Not only are there NO scratches, there is no wear at all on the bottom etc. This is as good as buying a new kayak. No it it not grubby! it is actually camoufrage in colour and quite attractive when you see it. It is a very strong vessel. It is 25-kgs in weight and has a massive carrying capacity of 205-kgs. It is actually 12-ft 7-inches or 3.85-metres long. it is 31-inches wide and 12-inches deep. The seat is new and of best quality with very thick padding. Plus there is a timber seat raiser that makes for great comfort . Particularly good for the older person.

The front hatch is enormous at 38-inches long. It incorperates a second seat for a child or small adult. (facing rear). The paddle, the seat even the new better quality trolley fit in the front hatch and there is lots more room for camping gear. The Kayak tracks extremely well and it is very dry to paddle.

This kayak is fast but not a speed machine. It is not a super light touring kayak if that is what you are after. But If you want a stable, well tracking kayak with plenty of above and below storage space, and the ability to take all your gear on a long trip; this is a great kayak. It is incredibly stable. This kayak has been improved and re-modified to better suit the angler or diver. You can successfully ride straight down the face of a modest beach break wave without pearling the front end. The front splash guard does a great job. It has rod holders and It comes with a Hummingbird 150 depth sounder. There are sturdy lifting handkes at either end there is a set of pulleys and ropes to haul it up to the rafters if required.

Cheaper may not necessarily be better when purchasing kayaks, boats or just about anything. In the case of this Malibu Kayaks there has been no compromise of quality. This certainly one of the better high quality kayaks.
