Recon 10ft Fin Drive Modular Fishing Kayak
The Recon 10ft is built for serious anglers who want a longer, faster hull and full electronics capability — without the roof rack, garage, or heavy lifting that normally comes with a kayak this capable. Built-in transducer mount recess means your fish finder drops straight in. Modular two-section design means it still fits in your car boot and stores in your spare room.
Run a fish finder from day one. The Recon has a built-in transducer mount recess in the hull — a recessed plate on the underside designed to accept a transducer puck. No drilling, no aftermarket mounting hardware. Add your fish finder, route the wiring through the scupper holes, and you're fishing with electronics on your first trip out.
Longer hull, same modular portability. At 10ft, the Recon tracks efficiently and moves well in open water. It still breaks into two sections that fit in a mid-size car boot without a roof rack, and store upright in an apartment or spare room without wall brackets. You don't sacrifice portability for a longer kayak.
Quiet and hands-free on the water. The fin drive pedal system is whisper-quiet — important when you're working a spot with electronics and don't want to spook fish. 430lb capacity with a stable W-hull suitable for seated and standing fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the transducer mount dimensions on the Recon?
The Recon hull transducer recess measures: X (hole-to-hole) = 1.77", Y (inside width at base) = 2.16", C (holes to front edge) = 0.82". These are the measurements for custom mount design. Check your transducer manufacturer's specs for compatibility.
Will the Recon fit in my car without a roof rack?
Yes. At 10.5ft it's slightly longer than the Radar, but the two-section modular design keeps each piece compact enough to fit in most mid-size SUV and hatchback boots without external racks.
Why is the Recon the best overall Kayak?
The Recon is 36" wide with plenty of standing stability, it has 4 trolling motor mount options and it has a under mounted rudder meaning you get more cargo space for the length and an easy way to add a low cost trolling motor to the rear without having to tie it into the steering.
Can I stand up and fish from the Recon?
Yes, in calm to moderate conditions. The W-hull provides good standing stability for lake fishing, bay fishing, and sheltered water.
