SANTEE 126 SPORT When youve got the best in-class recreational kayak, what do you do next? You think about how to make that design accessible to more people. Recreational means a lot of different things to different paddlers. For some folks, recreational means accessories, and accessories require space, so we took the Santee 116 and upsized it. We put some serious cubic inches in the cockpit and voila the Santee 116 Sport! A recreational kayak that gives you room for tackle boxes, rod tubes, dry bags and perhaps the family dog appropriately clad in a doggie PFD of course. In addition to the extra space in the cockpit, the Santee 116 Sport also features a sealed rear bulkhead and easy to use hinge hatch, and at 36.5 pounds you aren’t sacrificing performance for extra space. Why? Because the 116 Sport rides on the same magic Swede form hull as the 116. The Santee 126 Sport has the same multi-chined performance hull, speed, and great looks as our Santee 126 standard, but the deck has our oversized Sport cockpit for easy entrance and exit. And given there’s a tad less plastic in the deck, it’s also a tad lighter than the Santee 126 coming in at 39 lbs of paddling perfection.Sport Console Compatible! 1.BOW AND STERN BULKHEADS, ABS PLASTIC:FLOTATION & STORAGE 2.10-INCH HINGE HATCH:STORAGE COMPARTMENT ACCESS 3.STERN DECK BUNGEE:DECK STORAGE FOR DRY BAG & GEAR 4.PADDLE HOLDER:SECURES PADDLE TO DECK 5.SECURITY BAR:CABLE LOCK YOUR BOAT TO THE CAR OR IN STORAGE 6.OUTFITTING:AIRESTREAM SEAT AND FOAM THIGH PADS 7.FOOTBRACE SYSTEM:SEALECT DESIGNS PINCH & PULL 8.MOLDED GRAB HANDLES, BOW & STERN:COMFORTABLE GRIP WHEN CARRYING KAYAK DURING PORTAGE 9.55-INCH XL COCKPIT:EASY ENTRY & EXIT, ACCOMMODATES SMALL CHILD OR PET OPTIONAL:SPORT CONSOLE
