Ot Sport Jolt 116 Kayak W/paddle (Old Town)

*** DISCLAIMER: This is a quirky kayak and it's likely that only quirky people would wish to own/paddle it! *** The OT Sport Jolt 116 (11.6) kayak is a fairly rare model that was only made from 2003 - 2005 (this one is a 2004 model). I believe it was Old Town's entry into the whitewater/hybrid world. It has a spring-loaded skeg and a rear hatch (with bulkhead) as well as the heavy-duty Old Town footbraces. Speaking of heavy-duty, it is also one of Old Town's models that was made of the Polylink3 material (great stuff!).

I would consider the best application for this kayak to be rivers that have at least a bit of flow. It's not meant to be a long-distance "flatwater" paddler. (BTW... the Jolt is the green/black kayak in the photo.) I will also include an excellent condition Carlisle Magic RS paddle (green/yellow blades with black fiberglass shaft). The kayak has a current Ohio registration (good until March 2019), but I will remove the decal if it sells to someone outside of Ohio. A few reviews of the Jolt 116 kayak can be found here: https://paddling.com/reviews/product/ot-sport-jolt-kayak/ Negative considerations include: 1) for its length (11.5 ft.), it's a beast (about 55 lbs.

Worth), 2) the deck height is the lowest that I have ever encountered in a kayak (I wear men's size 9.5 tennis shoes when I kayak and I can't fit them vertically under the deck unless I bend my toes.), 3) when using the footbraces, my knees pretty much have to be wedged into the sides of the kayak under the deck (great for control, but not so much for comfort for any length of time).Feel free to contact me with any questions!
