I have a huge thankyou to give to Mike (Lavdr) for his generous gift of a free Scrambler XT Ocean Kayak!!!
:thumbsup2:
A big Thank You to Mike (Lavdr) and a Kayak Workshop

Is that a closed system hatch? If it isn't, when you flip it could flood the kayak and sink..
-
Wow that is quite genrous. Josh is you ever wanna kayak dive down here give me a shout.
-
Dude that is the exact yak I would have put you in had you been in a yak yard...What a score.
Very classy move by Mike.
I would think about getting a real hatch for the bad flip you hope never happens.
use it for many years in good health and good seas

I don't think it will let in much water if it over turns... I also have another piece of neopreme that I can use to seal it completetly if I decide to go out when its rougher.

Nice....I got a great name for her.:D;)
Cheers, Don

yaks really are just the bees knees
-
I agree about the hatch cover, but then again it seems the hatch covers that come standard or even after market are anything but well sealed. If that shoelace pulls the neoprene tight then it is probably more water resistant than most plastic covers with the buckle over strap that seem standard
-
^ My thoughts about the hatch cover as well. Contratz on the yak and kudos to Mike.
-
I'd test it first. You have a pool right? I'd tie a rope to one end of the kayak and flip it in the pool. Shake it around and see how fast it floods.
-
sweet..that sounds more than safe to me...I have never seen a yak flip and take on water..they are usually distinct mistakes...if the hatch is open and a wave flips you etc
enjoy and get a rivet gun so you can start modding it for spearing and bug gathering
-
That's way cool of you mike. Josh you can plug those holes with a cork, I used to make some out of crappy foam from delivery boxes or you can buy them from a chemical supply store. Put some cord in them so you can pull them out if you get swamped though.
-
There are plugs available as kayak accessories too.
-
No worries Josh. Glad to see the kayak will get some use.
