The
Solace 18XL “Expedition”
is “the” kayak for anyone that wants to carry large loads.
Carrying everything you think necessary to be comfortable is possible in
this boat. If you have size 14 - 15
feet this is the only boat for you! The
roomy cockpit will allow you to change positions on those long trips.
You have come to expect the very best hull shaping available, from a Waters
Dancing
kit and the 18XL delivers, her hull is beautiful and clean through the water.
This
fast paddling hull has a long waterline (208”)
for it’s overall length (219”). It
has a carrying capacity of over 400 lbs.
The beautifully shaped upswept bow parts the waves and the v-shaped deck
funnels water off quickly keeping you dry and comfortable.
Note the height of the deck at the rear of the cockpit.
If you want to roll, you can roll with comfort.
If
you are 6’ 3” or over this boat was made with you in mind!
There
are double bulkheads behind the cockpit; this allows you to install a day hatch
(optional) for greater safety and convenience.
If the day hatch is not needed simply leave out the second bulkhead when
you’re completing the final bulkhead installation.
Note: The round black hatch cover, being an option is an extra cost, so when placing an order for this kit please ask for hatch kit number 6BLK-S/S.
Lee is 6'8" tall, with a size 15 shoe.
He tells us that the Solace 18XL fits him with room to spare!
