Smalliebigs Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 The Jackson kayaks apparently have a three-year hull warranty, and the Wilderness Ride's have a lifetime warranty. I wonder why? That would be enough to convince me if I wanted a new kayak. What kind of warranty claim do you think you will have that will be covered on a kayak???? I have had several brands of kayaks and have never had a problem with a hull in regards to a warranty. There isn't a kayak or canoe maufacturer that covers normal wear and tear on your hull.
Wayne SW/MO Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Scuppers can always be a problem with SOT's. While hanging a rock would be obvious damage, having one crack would come under warranty. The Ride does show some advantages on paper, wider and cheaper come to mind. Any extra width will contribute to a better standing posture, especially combined with the pontoon configuration of the hull, if that is important too you. The Coosa gets dissed for tracking, not necessarily a fault for some flows, but a big fault for stillwater and going upstream. The Ride is most likely a better choice for some uses and the Coosa a better one for some others. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
