A local wholesale club is selling a Pelican Storm kayak for $300 US.
It's a package deal which includes a spray skirt and no doubt cheap
paddles. This model is NOT on the www-pelican-int.com site and the
best I can deduce is that the base model is the Pelican Wave.... an
entry level hard shell sit-in which lists for $250 US.

Check the weight. This time last year I was interested in a
Pelican canoe because of the low price but found out it
was very heavy.


There's not many reviews on-line but some have said it does not track
particularly well.... I'm not sure if that's with the skeg attached. I
suspect that I'll primarily use it for touring but may do some class
II or III whitewater. I'd prefer a bigger cargo hatch but at this
price point it's lucky to have a flotation bulkhead.

Does anyone have any opinions on this model? Is it even a good deal at
$300 US?

Thanks!!
