Native Watercraft Marvel 12 Recreational Kayak - 2009 BCS

You may be able to get something custom fit at a local shop, however there are other boats out there that come designed specifically for a rudder. There are a couple other considerations when installing a rudder aside from just mounting it on the back. Take a look at a P&H Orca. Or possibly a sit on top kayak specifically designed for fishing. Sit on tops are generally much easier to fish from because they are more stable and cannot easily sink if overturned. Just climb back up and keep going.

I have a Marvel 12 and I love it. I do a lot of river floating and also open lakes. It is super comfortable because of the patented seat. Friends have other mgf kayaks and they aren't nearly as comfortable as mine.

I do some fast water stuff---but pretty minor. It seems to handle well in faster water--but it is better on the slow stuff and open lakes.

A friend has the 10 ft and it seems to be more maneuverable than my 12ft. on the rivers. Mine seems to be more comfortable for open water paddling. Both have the great seat---the best part.

The cockpit is nice and open--very comfortable as well. None of us fish out of our boats, but I'm sure the Marvel would be great for this (I just saw a new model at the outfitter store that was designed specifically for fishing).

I would suggest the 10ft marvel is you plan to do a lot of river floating and need the maneuverability factor.

Hope this helps.

There is a rod along the side of the foot rail. You just reach down and either pull or push the rod until you get the foot rest in the right place. There are stops about every half inch and they snap into place.
