16' 4" Sea Otter Kayak (Retired)
The Sea Otter Series 500 sets the standard for touring kayak expedition capacity and high performance.
Hull Features
- Fast 16 foot waterline means easy pdaaling, even with 150 lbs. of gear.
- Low ends make paddling in the wind a breeze.
- Straight keel line reduces yaw for more efficient paddling.
- Stern bulkhead and hatch for safety and convenience.
- Foot braces are easily adjusted while the paddler is in the kayak.
- Strongly reinforced detailing around the hatch.
- Hatch is flush recessed, not allowing waves to drive under its edge. It's more secure.
- Three sizes to fit almost anyone.
Three depths:
LP (low) Depth: 11.5", Paddler: <162 lbs. Weight: Aramid 43 lbs., Tuf-Weave® 48 lbs.
GP (general) Depth: 12.25", Paddler: 120-180 lbs., Weight: Aramid 44 lbs., Tuf-Weave® 49 lbs.
EXP (expedition) Depth: 13", Paddler: 160 lbs. + gear, Weight: Aramid 45 lbs., Tuf-Weave® 50 lbs..
- By using a peaked deck to shed water, the long, low bow is drier than so-called Eskimo styles.
It rides smoothly without excessive pounding up and over waves and without throwing spray back at the paddler.
