This is a brand new model by Oldtown in the daytripper category. I was looking for something shorter than my ocean kayak for lakes and rivers and this is a nice step down. It still has bulkheads and storage portholes but at 13'9" doesn't require a rudder and also has a cockpit of 19"X40". This makes it very comfortable to get in and out of and being 28" wide is plenty stable. I thought it would be slow but to my surprise its ok, not a rocket but good speed and easy to manuvere. My only coplaint is I wish Oldtown offered thigh supports as an option. They have told me that none of their plastic boats have them. To bad. Otherwise anyone of good size should look at this boat for quality is excellent and the price is only 719.00 without rudder. I wouldn't spend the extra 150.00 for the rudder the boat responds very well to leaning.
