“The ultimate in versatility, the Necky Manitou is a recreational kayak with a hint of British charm. At 12′ 10.5″” this boat gives the feel and glide of a touring boat with the stability and comfort of a recreational kayak. From its fine bow entry to the nicely finished stern, this kayak is a straight tracking boat with plenty of initial stability and a comfortable seating position. The cockpit size allows for good ease of entry and exit without being so huge that the paddler is lost in the boat. The standard water resistant stern hatch and bulkhead provide enough storage for a day on the water along with buoyancy for safety. The Manitou’s compact size and low weight make carrying or car-topping an easy task.Pictured in red..Shipping: Please note that the shipping charge above applies to business address deliveries in the 48 states.
