The FX12 blends canoe-like open space with a stable tunnel hull that suits standing. The hand-sewn mesh seat has two heights and slides fore and aft to trim the boat, foot braces adjust, and open bow and stern areas with bungees take crates, dry bags or a small cooler. It works with anchor systems and trolling motor mounts.

KayakDIY take: An open hybrid deck is about the easiest layout there is to load fast and get on the water. Read my full Native Watercraft FX12 review.
