Marauder


This is low resistance… The extremely narrow under water bow shape and reduced skin friction, reduces the bow wave to a whisper, added flare keeps the bow from diving while surfing down wind or just driving into waves.  The tracking is improved with smaller rudders.

Some built in hull flare behind the cockpit on the hull high up helps with final stability – Make no mistake this is an all out racing kayak and needs an experienced paddler in the seat. This boat is
FAST!
