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...

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.

So if you are looking to ride with an additional rider I would probably go with a little bigger model like the 11' Explorer or 12'6 Touring since it will give you more space and volume on the water. The 10' can it just depends on the experience level of the rider and the size of the people on the board. But for caution I would probably go with the 11' in this scenario.

Hi, Before I purchased my 2 Kayaks I was advised to get a 12 foot flat bottom. I bought a 10 foot in the water and a 2 man 12 ffot on top of the water Kayak. Both are set up for fishing. I much prefer the 10 foot Sun Dolphin. Not only was it cheaper, it handles so much easier in the water. It is light enough that I can acrry it alone from the car to the water and I am over 50 y/o female. I love the 10 foot Kayak also because I can just throw it the back of my pick up, no special gear needed. The larger one is a little to large for that. Hope this helps.

how far off the water is the dock or raft? Mine is 19 inches and I;m very pleased with w 4 step, I'm 6 feet tall no way I could get on a 3 step

Not offhand, but I can say that it isn't as wide as my hobie kayak. For rocky terrain I would want at least a 2 to 3 ft wide base. Not sure if they make them. Maybe easier to build a custom one

I say its 6ft long just by eyeballing it. I see the other people say 10 ft? Not the one I got. Kinda wish it was longer.

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 would never buy this carrier. It does not work for my 12 foot kayak. Maybe a smaller kayak would be better. You cannot pull this through sand to get to water. If I could I would have sent it back. I was very disapointed with it. WW

i have 2 sea kayaks, 15 and 17 feet long. they weigh between 50 and 60 pounds. i have never had any trouble either with the length or wieght of the boats.

The issues are the kayak balance point on the cart, and how rough the surface is on which the wheels have to roll. I have a 10-foot sit on top kayak and find that the cart works best about 2 feet from the rear of the boat. That way I can lift from the bow handle and walk easily. Be sure the little legs on the cart are facing forward, if not you'll drag them as you lift and pull. Over any type of rough or soft surface, you must really lash your kayak to the cart securely or it will slide or bounce off. Keeping all this in mind, you should be able to do what you are asking.

If the question is specifically about the Old Town Vapor 10 I'd say I'm happy with my purchase. You don't need a lot of help if you want a good, reasonably priced kayak that is good on lakes. I'm over 6 foot and it is comfortable for me but I sometimes put in an extra seat cushion. It comes with an anchor so all you need is a paddle and life vest. The only change I would make to it would be extra rod holders aft of the seating area instead of behind.

I have a 9.5 foot kayak and it works fine, but I would recommend putting a wooden crossbeam frame on it to lif up the kayak a little. Otherwise, cars behind you may not see it.

I think its about 14 feet, which is the size of my kayak, it depends on how you balance it, the boat centers over the axle so you have some play there. You have to make sure there is enough weight on the nose to keep it from swaying. Since I bought my Paddle Boy I haven't used my car to get to the water and I have a 10 mile round trip.

10 ft..... I should have gotten it a bit longer purely because of how I had intended to use it. But it works well

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.

about 36 inches or a little less. My trike wa hard to use until I got used to it. I take a boat motor aors and gas can to the river in it with no problem now. well worth the price, although you may save 50 bucks by shopping Craig's list.

I am 5'11" and I bought the 220cm paddle. I have a sit on top Necky kayak and it works great for me, not too long or short. Hope this helps.
