The Radar 135 ships as a paddle kayak, but its scupper pods accept the Helix PD pedal drive or Helix MD motor drive, along with side-scanning electronics. The S.M.A.R.T. hull favors stability and tracking, with a flat standing platform, SlideTrax rails, a bow paddle park, a center hatch and the AirPro MAX seat.

- At 90 lbs, a cart or trailer is the practical way to move this boat.
KayakDIY take: One hull that takes paddle, pedal or motor lets you upgrade without buying a new boat. For the details, read my full Wilderness Systems Radar 135 review.
