Thank you steve! Does anyone know is a 12ft kayak can safely fit inside of a chevy tahoe?

if anyone has any videos or pics of how you manage this, that would be helpful

A trailer is just another thing to add to the equation. no thanks

I have tons of rods and none are two piece. Dont want to buy new rods.

exactly i’m not parking vehicle and trailer, i’m pulling up to a pond or small lake , throwing the kayak in that’s it. Quick and easy is the goal which is why i wanted something light weight like the hobie lynx but the more o read, i realized it won’t last very long because it isn’t a hard body, worried about rocks and dragging it etc i think your right, i just wanted to see if there was another way, or preferably putting it inside an SUV but that doesn’t seem very safe

any trailer is out. i fish on small bodies of water, no trailer.

What kind of trailer? I am nto interested in a Boat Trailer, mine as well get a real boat then. For me the appeal of a kayak is portability and speed and getting off the shore.

i don’t really want a pickup. I prefer a an SUV. but i’m concerned about having to car top a pro angler. How much time is saved by not having to car top it? is the pickup worth getting just for this reason or is there an easier solution for an SUV, either putting it insider or on roof. i’m torn

Is it difficult to top a pro angler 12ft? This is what I was afraid of as I generally impatient and just want to go becuase I have small windows of time.

Anyone transport a kayak inside an suv?

So i’m in the market for a kayak, at first o wanted something ultra lightweight and portable but now i’m leaning towards getting a real rig, like a hobie PA 12. So my car lease is up and so i’m now thinking a pick up truck would be great to make transporting even easier however, in my current car, small suv, i always have a few rods just in case i stumble upon a pond or something. So having the internal storage is really handy and allows me to keep my stuff secure but always at the ready. if i get a pick up truck, i’m going to lose that internal storage, as i’m not gonna have rods loose and free inside the bed of a truck. so i’m curious if anyone has a pickup and has this dilemma. i don’t see how a few 7ft bass rods are going to fit inside of even a 4 door pickup.

Im confused you hated your firends pro angler, but you think it is great boat? Help me understand

Arggh. I know, the lynx would be great but its not gonna last. I have been reading reports on other sites.

o think i’m going PA 360 12ft

If I go above a really lightweight kayak like the Hobie Lynx or the slayer, then I am going to go Hobie Pro angler. I have been reseaching for quite a few days, and I dont think the Hobie Lynx has the longevity and to spend 3k on something that wont last wont work for me. On the other hand the native slayer has the durability but it lacks in a lot of other areas that a heaveier kayak would fulfill, such as the slayer max or even the titan and so maybe my request for the very lightweight kayak is misguided and perhaps I can learn to find ways to transport a heaver kayak more easily. Using a cart as others metioned or even kayak rollers to get on top of a car would be more beneficial in the long run. I am now leaning towards the pro angler 360 12ft. Watching someone stand on the front and back is pretty cool.

I wish Hobie made a 10ft

I am not against Hobie, but they seem to be too heavy Is the Pro angler 360 to heavy to be quick to load and unload?

Unfortunately the Native Slayer is not in stock anywhere

I think I have narrowed it down to the Slayer 10 (not max) or the Hobie Lynx.

So Native Slayer or Hobie Lynx? I fish ponds, rivers, small bodies of waters. I am in and out not long days on the water. I want to be able to trasnport on top of car and I like minimal prep time.

I am leaning towards the lynx, but I will be dragging the thing on shorelines and it probably wont last too long that way. I would not be using a roller of any kind. The titan 10 looks amazingly stable but it's too heavy for my linking, Which lead me to the the Native Slayer 10. Can anyone confirm that the Slayer 10 is a stable kayak and can easily stand and fish? Also, is there anything else that competes with this, that isnt a hobie Kayak, theyre too heavy, which I would just go with the titan. In my research the slayer appears to be the lightest, most stablde pedal drive. Also came across pelican catch but not much info on that The nucanoe is also really stable but not pedal drive, they do have a pedal kit you can add but its not like the removable pedal kits the others have. Hobie PA, 12ft, 36in, 109lbs hobie lynx 11ft, 36in, 42lbs 3 waters big fish, 11ft, 38in, 135lbs Wilderness Radar 115, 11.8ft, 34.5, 85lbs Native Slayer 10, 10ft, 34in, 62lbs Native Slayer Max, 10, 34.5, 75lvs Native titan 10, 37, 98lbs Pelican Catch, 10.6, 34in, 67lbs Frontier F10, 10, 39, 62

After doing more research, not sure if this is durable enough, from what I read the shell is fragile and easily puncutred. I was pretty much set on this but now this picture makes me nervious as I would be sliding mine and dragging it around. Anyone have one and can care to comment? Looks like I am back to a Native Titan, but that is heavy, I was looking for something lighter than that.

I’ve read on other forums the lynx is an egg shell and very fragile. im not sure this would work then i want something light that is can throw on top of my roof but also wide and stable as i prefer to stand and fish

Anyone have more info on the diablo adios mentioned above?

o just got mine and o agree it’s pretty amazing
