No new fishing kayaks this year. They have added the Expedition 138 to their rec line up and it's been very popular. Another boat they are working on is the Category 5 fitness kayak :IDK:

They are coming out with the category 5 specifically as an exercise platform. They are also doing some of their boats in Camo this year to appeal to the hunting and lake crowd that feel the colors are to bright.

I was hoping they would finally pay some attention to the Phoenix line.

Pet peeves:

1) Get rid of the recessed pad eyes. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
2) Restore the lost hull volume of the P130 and P140 due to the changed hull seam.
3) Reinforce the hull at stem and stern - I have seen impact cracks in both these areas.
4) Add a second venturi drain to speed up drainage in surf launches or very rough water - 1 for cockpit, 1 for tank well.
