Does this boat have skegs or rudder(s) for flatwater stability?

We found that a 16 oz water bottle filled with sand and tied to a small rope about 3 feet long and trailed behind the boat will make it track pretty well.

It has two integrated "skegs" for stability. Each is aprox 18" long by 2" in depth. It will pull with each stroke if using a kayak paddle but tracks decent enough for the price. Hope this helps.

Its got a small tracking rudder on the bottom, but that really doesn't do a whole lot. Unless you're perfectly in sync with the other rower, you're going to turn a lot. Biggest downside to this canoe.

No, it does not. However, it does have several long rubber lines pertruding from the bottom that aid in the stability. This canoe is very stable.

They are not designed for this but they could be modified by removing the plastic on the slider that locks into the base and drilling a hole to attach rudder line. You would need to attach line close to base to reduce friction. I am not sure how long they would last with the constant movement using the rudder. I work for a company that hires kayaks and the rudder slider assemblys wear out after about 1000 hours of paddling and they are designed to move. For the price I'd give it a try. Good luck

Yes. there are molded plastic wheels-very sturdy, fitted into molded impressions at the rear of the boat, the hardware is brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. The boat is very easy for one person to manouver.

Really not sure. I am using a free floating fore end. I can tell you this. The zero was not hard and the front site post was not extreme one way or the other. And the combat zero on the rear site was pretty close.

Directional skeg for all Sevylor Tahiti™ and Fiji™ kayaks. It hooks on to the kayak.

Yes and yes. The Joystick twists AND the throttle has a rocker bar (you can't see in this photo) for rudder control on the back. Both snap back to default when not actually twisting/rocking.

You want paddles, not oars. Oars are real long and need oar locks, paddles are chest height and are just held in two hands. And no, paddles are not included.

The description is incorrect. There are TWO foam blocks with two straps & two ropes - just as shown in the photo. You don't need more than the two foam blocks. Also, they don't "snap onto the gunwales" - the boat simply rests on top of them. They have a shallow V-shape t fit the hull of a basic kayak. I have a dual-hull kayak and it works fine for that too. The rack works completely with friction and the tight straps. I'm very happy with mine. Just remember to twist the straps or they make a deafening hum while you're driving.

This kayak has railed foot pedals with cables attached to operate the pilot rudder which is a great option included on the boat as standard feature..the rudder option usually cost between $150 and $200 if bought separately. These foot braces, as they are called do adjust for short or long legs.I actually used the rudder to mount my fishfinder transducer. Swivels up out of way for transporting kayak. Is best I've seen on the market for the price.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

No, they do not sell the skeg. What I did was buy 2 blue flexible skegs (for sea eagle) and glue them in the bottom (back) of the kayak. It works pretty good.

skeg could be mounted in place on a permanent basis only if you're doing flatwater. if you do Swiftwater it would be torn off very quickly it's not recommended to fix the skeg on a permanent basis in swift water.

I have used the kayak on lakes and in fairly calm ocean conditions without the additional frame and have not noticed any lack of stability. It also performed well in a fairly strong current in Puget Sound.

It is not self bailing. Not suitable for rough waters. Nice boat for "tubing" class rivers.

I have 180mm gullwing sidewinders. With 80a sector 9 wheels. No riser, and do not get any wheel bite.

There are no rudder controls. The engines are synced for turning and you use the throttle has to be below full throttle to make the turn happen. At least that 's works for me. Nice sweet airplane one of the best in my small fleet.
