There are certain products in this world that just flat nail it when it comes to meeting the publics expectations. The Santee 116 Sport is a rare find in recreational kayaks, as it offers outstanding stability without sacrificing the ability to turn easily and track well. The Swede-form design, coupled with the crisp entry lines of the Santee 116 Sport bow, make this kayak more efficient than other kayaks in its class. This means you will cruise the rivers, backwaters and lakes with less effort, while still feeling stable and comfortable. The Santee 116 has front and rear hatches with sealed bulkheads for superior floatation and convenient storage for your day tripping. With an impressive 17 inches longer in the opening than the original Santee 116, you can put fly rod tubes, tripods and other outdoor tools of play in the cockpit with you. Even the right dog can ride in there, too. We're waiting for pictures of your cats in there. More impressive is that the Santee 116 Sport weighs in at a scant 35 lbs - that's probably less than the backpack you carry with you on hiking trips! Ideal use for the Santee 116 Sport is day touring in quiet coastal waters and larger lakes and is a pleasure to paddle.

Comments about Hurricane Santee 116 Sport Kayak 2011:
If weight is on your mind and could be in the future then the Santee is a great boat for you. Hurricane uses trylon material that is super light weight and still very durable. It also is a little faster through the water then plastic boats. The boat is also very stable with its teardrop shape. Great for beginners or heavy set people. With its sealed bulk heads in the back and front you have some storage and don't have to worry about your boat sinking if you flip over by mistake. The cockpit is also very open for ease to get in and out. Great light weight kayak for the price.
