Tracer 165

For less than many heavy roto-molded touring boats, you can now own one of the most seaworthy designs on the water. The Tracer 165 is a sleek, fast and comfortable kayak that sets a new standard in the industry. Weighing a scant 48 lbs, this 16-ft, 5-in beauty is the perfect size for most paddler’s 2 to 4 day trips. For day trips, the Tracer 165 tracks and carves with precision and grace. It is a true joy to paddle. We’ve given the cockpit a little extra length to make your entry and exit easier, while still allowing for a solid fit for edging and bracing. The front and rear Hurricane hatches are mated with our watertight bulkheads for efficient cargo space. The Tracer 165 comes expedition ready with a drop skeg installed. You’ll be pleased at the wonderful dance moves on water you can easily master with your Tracer 165. It has become a favorite with guides and instructors all over North America.
