The rec boat with a personality disorder. See, it thinks that it’s a touring boat. But then again, with all that storage space and the capability to go the long haul, who are we to argue? It’s stable and easy to paddle, but lightweight so you won’t throw out the ol’ back during the loading/unloading process. And that optional Yakima® Rudder gives you solid precision tracking.

Question. Should I take my rec boat out today, or my touring boat? Both? No problem. The 13.0 is a boat of a different color (actually, it comes in four). It’s rare ‘cause it’s rec boat light and stable, but touring boat fast and responsive. Built with the larger paddler in mind, it’s also short and easy to paddle, but can be loaded to the gills and still be responsive. Want tracking? Then you want the optional retractable rudder. Or not. That’s why we call it
