While searching the internet for something else entirely, I stumbled on the worst designed "kayak" I have ever seen: https://lightasairboats.com/products/unchartered-watercraft-scorpion-fx?currency=USD&variant=39427198451796&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping.

But... It says it's MADE for angling. Hobie doesn't even say that on the Revo spec sheet. I think the winner is clear here.

You mean the "Best" design ever?!?! That baby has all kinds of room on the rails to mount rod holders, ff, and even a downrigger. And for those who fish the salt, imagine how easy that would be to pack to the waters edge at Fogarty Beach. No wheels needed. As if that's not enough, it's so solid that the girl in the picture fishing open water doesn't even need a PFD.

Hahaha love the comments here.
That thing his hideous. Look how low the guy is riding in the water! It would be like trying to paddle a bathtub.

You have to say that it is "creative"...... I mean, look how easy it is to transport and how little storage room it takes! 8) Thanks for the laugh.

Tired of wind waves slapping your gunwales all gosh darn afternoon and leaving a fine crusty film on the lenses of your favorite fishing sunglasses?
Modern problems require modern solutions.

This is a fine example of a "solution to a non existing problem."

I'd try it out. ;D

That overhead shot makes it look like a giant composting toilet found in pop up,campers 😣

If you made a list of the things you like about your favorite kayak, this "Scorpion" thing doesn't have any of them. For example, speed. Fast kayaks are generally long, narrow, pointy, and sleek. If you tried to design a water craft which is as slow as possible, the Scorpion might be it: three very short, very blunt flotation vessels which sink deep into the water. And the Scorpion has some disadvantages which no other kayak in the known universe has. For example, because the paddler's feet bridge the gap between the three flotation vessels, there's no cockpit, no place to set anything down, and waves will splash up on the paddler's legs. And do you like to lean back in your kayak seat? You'd be out of luck in a Scorpion, because it doesn't have a seat back. You'd have to work hard to come up with a paddlecraft with more disadvantages than the Scorpion.
