Mar 25, 2016 · Last Year my wife and I got our first kayaks “I got the pungo 140 and she got the jackson tupelo” They ended getting more use than I thought they would and has become one of my favorite things to do! Well we have two kids 12 and 15 and my daughter really wants her own kayak as she went out a few times with me and she borrowed her mothers yak,and other times we rented one. So I was at ...

Feb 5, 2013 · I have 4 pelican kayaks and wanted spray skirts, splash decks, and road covers for them. Even the ones made for them have that common problem of not staying on real well as the comb on Pelican boats is so shallow. I found a Seals splash deck for a tandem that had a review from a user that had a Pelican 14’ tandem like ours that he said he was able to make it work and loved it. Too bad he did ...

Mar 11, 2024 · From multiple beachings, I see hull wear on a couple of my kayaks. It looks like these kayaks have a 1mm white outer coating and (from the scrapes), underneath the white layer, there is pink plastic. (see pic) I’ve read Pelican kayaks have a “UV-resistant outer layer allows it to tolerate outdoor storage” I assume the kayaks are rotomolded pink and the white is the UV-resistant layer? If ...

Jan 31, 2020 · I gave that car to a relative who used it to carry a 12 foot kayak inside but alas, a friend wanted to “help” load it and cracked the passenger side of the windshield. Tim_Bigelow February 1, 2020, 4:30am

Feb 21, 2020 · I am sometimes asked by beginners about what kayak they should get that is cheap. I have owned many kayaks from rec boats to a surf ski, but never a Pelican or similar big box toy. A friend has one he says is ok, but he always paddles his better boats. My impression of those cheap boats is that they are heavy, slow ,poorly designed slugs. I advise beginners to look for used boats. Am I being ...

Aug 7, 2019 · Hello all, I’ll start by saying that I am novice. I’ve been in a kayak 5 or 6 times (never flipped, which was a surprise to me) but that would constitute all I know about kayaks. Now, my wife’s 40th is coming up (soon!) and she’s made it clear that she’d love to get a kayak for the cottage. She has 1 or 2 more trips in the kayak than I do, but still a novice. So, I …

Feb 18, 2022 · Kayaks depreciate incredibly, and when on a low budget I think buying a new boat makes no sense compared to a used used boat. So my point is, instead of buying a new pelican for $300 you could instead buy a nicer used kayak for $300. My first kayak was in the lower cost Pelican price range, and was an entry level WS fiberglass sea kayak.

Mar 19, 2024 · My kayak is so old it says Potomac on it, but they must have been bought by Pelican. Anyway, my husky got to the bungee system that keeps the flimsy rear hatch sealed (sort of). How can I restring that, or otherwise modify the hatch lid so it stays on? He got all the rest of the bungee as well, though I don’t know that I need that. He also chewed up some of the foam near the seat. No, I’m ...

May 22, 2020 · Fairly new to kayaking. So far I’ve only paddled sit on top kayaks but I just bought my first kayak and it’s a sit in style. I love it and can’t wait to put it to the test but I am a bit worried about tipping it and potentially sinking it. The kayak I bought is a pelican mustang 100x and it comes with styrofoam on the sides of the seat (not sure if it goes all the way to the stern but I ...

-- Last Updated: Jun-11-16 1:07 AM EST -- Brand new to kayaking and I was hoping someone can help me out with a little advice on choosing a first recreational kayak. I've rented and gone out on the river (columbia), and have decided this is something I want to do a lot more of. I live in Portland, OR. I'm 6'-1", male and weigh 200 pounds. I suppose initially I'll …
