The Rapido splits into two roughly 35 lb sections and assembles into a 35 inch wide W-style hull. Its propeller pedal drive gives smooth cycling and instant reverse, and a skeg protects the prop. Track rails, a swivel rod holder, a cockpit hatch, a deep battery box, a deep-blade rudder and three trolling motor mount options are built in.
