BKC PK13 Fishing Kayak

The Brooklyn Kayak Company BKC PK13 Pedal Drive Solo Traveler Single Kayak was created to cruise. This long, slender, stable kayak slices through all types of water at top speed, especially when you use the pedal-driven propeller and a trusty paddle at the same time. (You can also upgrade to a trolling motor for the ultimate easy speed, or remove the pedal drive system for classic paddle-only performance.) The smooth, responsive pedals feature adjustable foot straps and keep the propeller whirling at speed, while the hand-operated rudder gives you excellent directional control with minimal effort required.

The BKC PK13 Pedal Kayak has a total weight capacity of 550 pounds, so you can load it up with gear, hop aboard, and set off for an all-day excursion or even a multi-day adventure.

Not only is the PK13 kayak ready to cruise at speed, but it's also an ideal choice for the long-distance traveler. The kayak features a spacious rear cargo area with bungee tie-down straps perfect for securing a cooler, tackle box, duffel, or dry bag, and watertight storage hatches built into the hull with dry bag inserts included. The bow also features bungee straps great for tucking midsized items like a raincoat or helmet.

The chair of the BKC PK13 Traveler Kayak is built around a lightweight but sturdy aluminum frame and has a padded and supportive backrest and seat. It can be adjusted for comfort or to maximize your efficiency as you paddle, pedal, or fish.

The kayak fisherman will also appreciate the vessel's three flush-mounted rod holders, which can be used to keep a fishing pole out of your way as you travel or to keep a line in position in the water as you troll or still fish. The PK13 fishing kayak has scupper holes that allow for drainage of any water that gets into the kayak and comes with scupper plugs that can seal these holes when choppy water splashes up through the hull. A paddle keeper system allows you to secure your paddle to the hull when you're not using it.

The perfect kayak for outdoor fun: Our Brooklyn Kayak Company BKC PK13 kayak was created to cruise. Bicycle-style pedals turn a high efficiency propeller, allowing you to tuck your paddle into the paddle keeper and go hands-free. The hand-operated rudder controls will keep you tracking while underway and enhance your steering capabilities, allowing you to make sharp and quick turns.

Fully loaded accessories: Our kayak comes equipped with an ergonomic aluminum frame seat, adjustable aluminum paddle, 2 water-resistant hatches, 3 built-in rod holders, 1 paddle park, and 1 bungee cargo tie-down. We have all the accessories you need for your next excursion.

Pedal drive system: Get your kayak moving faster than ever with or without a paddle using the included pedal-driven propeller system and hand-operated rudder. Stop on a dime or go in reverse by just pedaling backwards. With an optional trolling motor upgrade, you can customize for even more effortless cruising.

Crafted for stability: Our Roto Molded single Piece High-density polyethylene material is superior to inflatable kayaks and a capable craft on ocean, lake, or river, while supporting up to 550 lbs. It rides currents, slices through chop, and glides over still water with effortless grace.

Exceptional fishing features: 3 flush-mount rod holders will keep multiple baited lines in the water at once or just keep the rods out of your way during paddling or pedaling. The front cover storage with bungee tie-down can double as an ice chest and has a drain hole with plug. Whatever your preference, convenience is always an option.

What is the size of the propeller? I don't know because I did not receive the whole propeller drive mechanism at all.

Can you upgrade the prop? If this item would have been delivered, I might have been able to answer your question. This was my first experience of ordering from you and I'm still waiting for delivery! Not Good Service. What this tells me is you are selling merchandise that is not safe and controllable. Why did you ask this question and should I ship it back immediately?

Is the gear in the drive plastic? Not sure, only know that it is ABS plastic with stainless steel components.
