Has anyone seen this kayak?

I just saw it on the website today. Looks like a nice reasonable yak for $529.

Ok, makes sense cuz it looks just like a Caper to me and has the same design on the seat.

Huh, it's a Scrambler, but with a flat floor and adjustable foot pegs; that's a nice improvement. However, it till doesn't have a very large tankwell (won't fit a crate) and a narrow cockpit. I would still take the Pescador over this yak, but it's not a bad one.

Interesting that that are marketing a SOT under the Old Town label. As far as I know unt now all the SOT's have been OK's and the Old Town brand had been limited to SINK's.

Maybe they are trying to limit the OK branding to higher end yaks.

Looks like they have widened the tankwell, maybe it will accept a standard crate now. I have a Scrambler XT and had to shave my crate to fit. Good all around Yak. Like my Pescador better except for running baits out in the surf.
