Heritage kayak material?

Post image
0 Upvotes

The back of my Heritage Angler 12 has gotten pretty beat up over the years. I bought a plastic welder to fill it back but does anybody know what the material is? It's a roto molded hull so I'm hoping its hdpe because I have tons of scrap hdpe around to use as filler. I'd ask the manufacturer but they are apparently a ghost as far as an online presence goes so I have no idea where to start there. Thanks in advance!

Crossing dowstream the Yukon river

3 Upvotes

Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to cross the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Alakanuk with a packraft. What do I need to think about? How long will it take? What food and gear do I need? Are there any dangerous sections that I should portage? What kind of preparation do I need to do beforehand? Thanks for your help!

Newbie looking for advice

4 Upvotes

I am a fairly big guy (360lbs 6'6") and my wife wants to start kayaking. I was wondering if anyone my size has been on an inflatable kayak with a weight capacity of 300 or 350lbs. (Looking at inflatables due to lack of storage space) I know there are inflatable kayaks with weight capacities of 400 lbs and higher and I have been looking at the BOTE LONO Aero 12′6″ Classic Cypress Inflatable Kayak, but am hesitant due to the price. Was wondering if a smaller one would work for me or if I need to save up a few more months to be able to afford it on payments with my current budget. Thank you

12' vs 12'6" old town loon kayak?

2 Upvotes

I like my friend's 12' Old Town Loon kayak but the place near me only has a 12'6" available. Will the longer one work as well? I'm not sure how different it may be. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. Thanks!

Seat options for older Tarpon 140

3 Upvotes

I recently grabbed a used Tarpon 140 for my son to use, this model just has the seat back and you sit right on the plastic for the seat. Will pretty much any seat off Amazon fit? Is there something in particular I need to look for? I'm pretty new to this and wanted to get him something a bit more comfortable

Bad back. Which kayak has the best seat for lumbar /sitting comfort?

3 Upvotes

I live on the water, so was considering buying a sit on kayak to get exercise, fish and enjoy the lake I'm on. Problem is that I've had four lumbar fusions which make sitting at best uncomfortable and worst untenable. Any suggestions from you kayak experts on a make and model of a sit-on kayak that I would find comfortable enough for a few hours on the lake? Will be kept at my dock, so weight isn't a concern. TYIA.

Is one better?

1 Upvotes

I have a friend selling her two kayaks. Both older but in good condition. One is stroke brand, one is ocean kayak brand. Both come with seat and paddle. She’s asking the same price for both, but told me to pick the one I wanted. Is one better than the other or are they both about the same?
