Important Specification Note
The marketing description refers to the kayak as a
9-foot kayak and states it is “at just 9 feet long,” while the detailed specification lists the exact length as
8 feet 10 inches. The detailed measurement has been used above.
The marketing description also mentions a
330 lb. weight capacity, while the detailed specifications state
300 lb. Because these values conflict, the detailed specification of
300 lb. should be verified against the manufacturer's current documentation before publication or use.
