What is the actual length of this "10 foot" kayak. I have a 9.5 footer that is really 9 foot and 2 inches. I want to carry this vertically on the back of my motorhome and a couple of inches shorter than 10 feet might actually work better for me. I would rather that it didn't stick up much higher than my AC unit. What is the actual length of this "10 foot" kayak. I have a 9.5 footer that is really 9 foot and 2 inches.

I measured my Vapor 10 just a few minutes ago, from prow to stern, to answer your question, Buck_KY. The Vapor comes in at just over 10 feet, more like 10 feet and 2 inches. Let me know if you have other questions, but for my money this is one great angling kayak. By the way, Roger Jarvi is correct when measured from top of bow to top of stern; but the bottom of the stern sticks out an additional two inches; at least it does on mine.

Yes, i have the same situation where im not able to set it up to the full 10 foot, but its adjustable to half the size and alittle smaller, i dont have the exact length for you because ive never actually measured them, but im able to use this set up in my apartment so you should have no issues.

My kayak is 9 feet long and I don't use any additional tie downs for it. I feel that my kayak is very secure up on top of my vehicle. I take it on the highway no problem.

Did you mean 10' instead of 10"? If you place one on top the other and properly secure with straps that is workable. If you intend to carry them side by side I am not sure...I will need to know the width of the Kayaks.

I have a 31" by 10 foot kayak, the front of the kayak is V shape an fits the wing well - the aft is more a flat bottom and contacts the outer edges of the wing only. I bought the Rhino 571 that adjust to the kayak bottom. Our second kayak is V shape front and rear - wing works Great!.

I believe it's 10' but you lose some of it coming from inside the compartment, maybe 3'. So I may go to a local hardware store and buy a steel flexable gas line to get out of the cabinet and secure it to the cabinet therefore having the full 10' to move the grill around. Hope this helps...

I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

I went out and took a look at 10 ft the cover on my wife's kayak. Her kayak is about 10' and 28" wide and a higher than 9". You will not have an issue with width or depth. There is about 5" of play on the length. I think you would be ok but, I'd check with the manufacturer before you purchase.

I measured the goose neck and it is exactly 2 feet , also you have a solid piece that rises up just below the neck that gives you 10 more inches but like I said the 10 in is solid no bending. If it helps any this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I am tempted to buy a second just in case some thing ever happens to the one I have . I just traveled out of state for two weeks and took it with me, just don't want to be with out it now.

I don't have a definitive number on the length, only can say there is plenty of pulley strap that allows us to hang the kayak pretty high up, and we have the ability to lower it plenty to get it off the straps. The description of the item doesn't say? Our garage ceiling is about 10 feet high. The pulleys have a ratchet type locking mechanism.

Paul, after your question, I re checked. My blade Dia. is just under 10 ft. Not as advertised at over 12 ft. Also I did not get an adjustable tail like they say in the advertisement suggested. If you bought one and this is why you questioned the size, please let me know. All efforts will be made with Gudcraft to correct this. The blade size is most important to me. I can work around the other false advertisements. Please reply. Thank you. Kenneth BigelowWB8ZIQ_ken.1@netzero.com

I like the 9 inch one. It does take more power to use then the one mine came with from new. If u want the 10 inch make sure u have enough power for that

Beverly, I don't if ALL kayaks fit; I don't know ALL kayaks. I use the SeaWing to carry my Ocean Kayak Torque kayaks on top of a Dodge Caravan. I use the factory rack and the SeaWings fit nicely. The Torques are ~14ft long, almost 30" wide and weigh ~75 lbs. each; they are larger than average. I have driven at 70 mph and the kayaks are stable up there. The biggest reason I have these SeaWings is that I can drive into the garage with them during kayaking season, and don't have to take them off all the time.<<http://g-lu.smugmug.com/Family/2012-Christmas/i-nsrHfXs/A>> Beverly, I don't if ALL kayaks fit; I don't know ALL kayaks.

I believe it's just the height of the stand - I got the 10" so it sits in the cupholder and the stand is 10" tall, bringing my device closer, as I use it in a truck. The 5" would probably be good for a car ... hope this helps:)

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

The 10 Ft refers to the distance from the motor to the door. You may have to move the motor back a foot which is not difficult
