(video) November schooling rockfish at Beverly Triton
That looks like all sorts of fun.
Question about the Slayer....does the foot well area where you pedal fill up with water, or does it have scuppers to drain out?
Skid steer,
I am thinking of purchasing a Slayer Propel 10. How do think it would do at Beverly Triton at that time of the year?
I have Mariner (12.5') Propel kayaks so I can't give first hand experience on the slayer 10 or its big brother. John Veil has posted his review of the Slayer 10 relative to the Slayer 13 - you could look that up.
I have taken the Mariner there without reservation and also had it in some pretty nasty stuff in Connecticut where I was surprised I did not get seasick (I am susceptible to that). I think I managed to keep my breakfast because I was constantly catching fish.
Good luck (and have fun) with your decision.
BTW - love the Wood Duck - I also have a Chesapeake 17 in the boatel (... er ... basement)

The Slayer's footwell is not very dry in choppy waters. It's one of the few complaints I have about it. Otherwise it's been my favorite yak thus far -- I'm a huge fan (and no affiliation with Native here).

The Mariner's footwell also gets wet fairly easily ... both boats have scuppers though.
I intentionally leave the front set of scuppers in the seating area open in all my Native kayaks. I don't mind a small amount of water coming in and out. I want to have protection in case I take a wave or wake over the side.
