Two-piece modular fishing kayak anyone?

I've been away from the sport for a while and now older and with another  back surgery or two, I am finding myself intrigued by these two-piece roto boats with fin drives, but am not finding much feedback on them. These would be for protected inland waters, not surf launches!
Does anyone here have actual experience with one? Even seen one?

I’d be worried about 10 little screws in plastic being the only thing keeping that together. I know as we get older it gets harder to lift the weight, but there’s always trailers. Monkeyfist has a heavy yak and just launches like a power boat.

A friend of me in Japan has a modular kayak. Different brand though (kingfisher point 65). I believe he has a third (middle) section that he can use when he takes his kid fishing with him.

From what he told me, he likes the kayak and uses it to fish Tokyo Bay for snapper, mackerel and other salt water fish (big water but fairly calm). The modular concept allows for easy storage, also if you have no garage or shed, and easy transport in your car. 

I'm sure issues will appear as these systems are put to harder use, but I bet they are here to stay. I just like the idea of not having to have a trailer, of moving only half the weight at a time, and being about to stow a couple of kayaks in the back of a truck with a locking canopy, especially if pulling a small travel trailer.

Any fresh thoughts/experiences with this style of kayak since last June, anyone?

i like the idea and am sure it would work fine.  My biggest concern when i saw the link was that its only 9.5 ft.  I would hate to paddle/pedal that in the ocean.

It’s like those mini Asian pickup trucks that are being imported here. Yes, it’s limited with where you can use it – certainly wouldn’t take it in saltwater. Yes, guys who overspent on their yaks will give you weird looks. But, for lakes or rivers that could be a great option. Just get one and have a blast out there.

I met Tim Niemier once, the founder of Ocean Kayak, and he was involved with a folding SUP company that was having lots of warranty issues with the hinge and leaks. I doubt the Raptor kayaks would fare much better.

For the lightest weight pedal option, check out the Hobie Lynx. https://www.hobie.com/kayaks/mirage-lynx/


For paddle, take a look at thermoformed kayaks like Eddyline or Hurricane.

Depending on your budget and fishing requirements, an even lighter ride could involve installing rod holders in a composite kayak/surfski like an Epic or Stellar.

Welcome back to the sport! I haven’t personally used that exact model, but modular roto-molded kayaks with fin drives are becoming more popular, especially for those needing easy transport and storage. The concept seems great for protected inland waters with solid tracking, decent stability, and a compact design when broken down. Some users report a bit of flex at the connection points, but for casual fishing and exploring, they seem like a solid alternative to inflatables. If weight and storage are concerns after your surgeries, this could be a good fit. Also, if you're ever traveling and want to try something different, I’ve seen people rave about trying a transparent kayak in Dubai which looks like an amazing way to explore clear waters. Hopefully, someone with hands-on experience can chime in!
