  • Reel Talk

    Its wide profile provides excellent stability on the water, though each section is slightly heavier—still manageable for one person to carry. With its size, the Recon is best suited for medium-sized cars, striking a practical balance between portability and on-water performance."

FAQs

The fin drive is silent and weed-free — better for working shallow flats, fishing near structure where stealth matters, and avoiding weed wraps. The propeller drive is faster in open water and offers instant reverse for tight maneuvers. Both are on the same 10ft, 400-lb-capacity Recon hull with built-in transducer mount. Choose fin for stealth, prop for speed and reverse.

The Recon splits into two halves — front about 63″ × 35″ × 11″ and back about 63″ × 35″ × 12.5″. Both fit in the trunk or back seat of most SUVs and many hatchbacks. Each section weighs roughly 33–39 lbs. Owners regularly transport it in vehicles like the Nissan Rogue, Ford Edge, and Tesla Model Y without a roof rack.

Yes. The Recon's 35-inch wide W-hull is one of the most stable in the modular kayak category for standing casts. Most anglers up to about 230 lbs can stand and fish comfortably in calm to moderate water.

Yes. The Recon has a built-in transducer recess in the hull that accepts standard puck transducers from Lowrance, Garmin, Humminbird, and others — no drilling required.

Under 5 minutes once familiar. The two sections interlock at the seam and clip together without tools. Roll the kayak on its side once to access the underside latches.

400 lbs total — that figure includes you, gear, tackle, fish finder, battery, cooler, and any catch. Plan around your loaded weight, not just body weight.

Yes — four mounting options: the rear transom, a side-mount bar, the pedal-drive recess (when you remove the fin drive), or the nose mount. A reinforced rear mount, deep battery box, and the built-in transducer mount are all included.
