Tournament anglers, offshore fishermen, and big-lake trollers who need speed, tracking, and the ability to handle rough conditions. This is also a favorite for anglers who run lots of electronics and want a clean, organized deck. It is overkill for small ponds and tight creeks, where a shorter hull turns better.

Key specs

  • Length: 13’9″
  • Width: 37″
  • Weight: 138 lbs / 145 lbs with seat / 158 lbs with seat and drive
  • Capacity: 425 lbs
  • Drive type: Flex Drive Mark IV pedal drive (propeller, forward and reverse)

Why it stands out

  • Stability: At 37 inches wide with a hull shaped for surf handling, the Knarr is stable in the conditions it was built for.
  • Comfort and the EZ Hi-Lo Seat: The EZ Hi-Lo seating system lets you raise and lower the seat with one hand, which is genuinely useful.
  • Storage and Rigging: The Knarr might be the best-organized kayak in its class.
  • Flex Drive Mark IV Performance: The Flex Drive Mark IV is a propeller drive with instant forward and reverse, and it is one of the quietest pedal systems out there.
