As I have gotten older I find it hard to use my Livingston 10' boat. Way Too heavy ---> ~ 220lbs, will not fit in truck and a pain in the arse to move around.. It is very stable but hate the center 'bump' - can not turn around easily.

Any one have experience with the Bic Sportyak 245?

Bic Sportyak 245 – Bic Boats Direct

www.bicboatsdirect.co.uk www.bicboatsdirect.co.uk

Made out of HDPE, about 86lbs, built-in wheels, fits in my truck and weight capacity of ~390lbs and has drain plugs built-in.

It would only be for me and seems to check a lot of boxes. Not real familiar with HDPE. Any issues?

Thanks in advance :)
 
High Density Poly Ethelyne, run of the mill material for rotomolded kayaks.
An alternative to the BIC Sport, which doesnt have a big following here in the states, would be the Feel Free Moken or others in the line. They have the" wheel in the keel" too.

There should be an index or reference tab that describes the material your looking for.
If you're truly set on a kayak, craigslist always has used ones.
Or you could check www.kayakcity.com or any of the other retailers.

One of the best online retailers, Austin Canoe and Kayak, closed up shop about 18 months ago. Seems to be a trend within the industry.
