Bonafide RVR119

The retractable skeg allows you to adjust your tracking on the fly. When deployed, it helps the kayak track straight in flat water or open lakes, reducing the need for constant corrective strokes. When retracted, the hull becomes more maneuverable, which is essential for navigating tight, winding rivers or shallow obstacles.

Yes, the RVR119 is designed with a focus on stability. At 35 inches wide, it provides a solid, steady platform that allows most anglers to stand and cast comfortably, even in moving water.

While 85 pounds is a standard weight for a fully-featured fishing kayak, it is on the heavier side for solo car-topping. It is manageable with a kayak cart or a bed extender for truck transport, but you should plan to use a loading aid if you are lifting it onto a roof rack by yourself.

Absolutely. The RVR119 is specifically engineered as a hybrid vessel. Its hull design and skeg system make it equally capable of handling the current and technical turns of a river as it is tracking across the open water of a lake.

The total weight capacity is 425 pounds. This figure includes the weight of the paddler, all fishing gear, tackle, electronics, and any water or snacks you bring on board. For the best performance, it is recommended to keep your total load slightly under that maximum limit.
