Florida Fishing Kayaks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSome thoughts about the Wavewalk S4<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Beautiful lines! \u00a0It may be the Cadillac of kayaks but it looks like a seagoing Corvette. \u00a0Is it a high performance motor yak or a portable runabout?
\nSuper stable. \u00a0Because it looks so seaworthy, most other powerboats do not slow up when passing port to port. \u00a0No problem. \u00a0The S4 slides through wakes easily without leaving planing mode.
\nIt seems to run a little faster than the W700 with the same motor. \u00a0I believe the wider hulls act like a pair of skis to help the boat skim across the water. \u00a0Handling tiller, camera, and a GPS at one time is beyond my skill set.
\nTracking through turns while planing is wonderful. \u00a0The boat’s stern does not slide like many skiffs do.
\nThe S4 is so easy to spin your body to face the outboard motor because the hulls are so wide. \u00a0You can keep your feet inside the vessel.
\nAlso, the S4 is the perfect vessel for folks who are tired of maintaining their leaky inflatable tenders. \u00a0Or, people who want a lifeboat that can be used for shade or transport, too.
\nI still think the W700 is the boat that does it all, but the S4 is the boat that does it all, and more!<\/p>\n
The video shows 15-20 knot wind close chop.\u00a0 No problem.\u00a0 Try paddling against this.<\/p>\n

P.S. – This boat could make a run from South Florida to Bimini. \u00a0But, for the time being, I will be staying in waters managed by our Country.<\/p>\n
