Anglers without a truck or trailer, apartment dwellers, and anyone tired of wrestling a 100-plus-pound hull onto a roof. It also suits travelers who want to bring their own boat on road trips. If you have ever skipped a fishing trip because loading the kayak felt like a workout, this boat was made for you.
