Longer than the 9.5ft models so you cover more water with less effort — but still breaks into two sections that fit in your car boot and store in your apartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant reverse when you need it.\u003c\/strong\u003e The propeller drive gives you full forward and reverse control with your feet. Back away from obstacles, hold position in current, and maneuver precisely around docks and structure without touching a paddle. Your hands stay on the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9.8ft hull, 2-section portability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Longer hulls track straighter and move faster — but traditionally they mean roof racks and garages. Not the Rocket. Two sections. Fits in your boot. Stores in your apartment.

If you fish shallow flats where stealth matters most, the fin drive version is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit in my car without a roof rack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Both sections fit in the boot of most mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks without roof racks, foam pads, or tie-down straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 9.8ft hull compare to the 9.5ft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe extra length improves straight-line tracking and paddling efficiency. You'll feel the difference most on open water and longer paddles to your fishing spot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ReelYaks","offers":[{"title":"Hornet \/ in 1 - 2 weeks \/ Standard","offer_id":50802715525406,"sku":"Rock98PropHorStd","price":1549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hornet \/ in 2 - 3 weeks \/ Standard","offer_id":50802715558174,"sku":"sku-47757501005998","price":1549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hornet \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ w\/ Seat Raisers","offer_id":50802715590942,"sku":"Rock98PropHorWsr","price":1649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hornet \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 3 Tier Adjustable Seat","offer_id":50802715623710,"sku":"Rock98PropHorAdj","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hornet \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 360 Swivel Seat","offer_id":50802715656478,"sku":"Rock98PropHorSwi","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ Standard","offer_id":50802715689246,"sku":"Rock98PropPlaStd","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ w\/ Seat Raisers","offer_id":50802715722014,"sku":"Rock98PropPlaWsr","price":1649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 3 Tier Adjustable Seat","offer_id":50802715754782,"sku":"Rock98PropPlaAdj","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 360 Swivel Seat","offer_id":50802715787550,"sku":"Rock98PropPlaSwi","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Papaya \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ Standard","offer_id":50802715820318,"sku":"Rock98PropPapStd","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Papaya \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ w\/ Seat Raisers","offer_id":50802715853086,"sku":"Rock98PropPapWsr","price":1649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Papaya \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 3 Tier Adjustable Seat","offer_id":50802715885854,"sku":"Rock98PropPapAdj","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Papaya \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 360 Swivel Seat","offer_id":50802715918622,"sku":"Rock98PropPapSwi","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ Standard","offer_id":50802715951390,"sku":"Rock98PropCusStd","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ w\/ Seat Raisers","offer_id":50802715984158,"sku":"Rock98PropCusWsr","price":1649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 3 Tier Adjustable Seat","offer_id":50802716016926,"sku":"Rock98PropCusAdj","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom \/ in 8 - 11 weeks \/ 360 Swivel Seat","offer_id":50802716049694,"sku":"Rock98PropCusSwi","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7512\/2718\/files\/rocket-98ft-propeller-drive-modular-fishing-kayak-fishing-kayak-platinum-in-8-11-weeks-rock98propplastd-6132437.jpg?v=1776729789","url":"https:\/\/festivewater.com\/products\/rocket-9-8ft-propeller-drive-modular-fishing-kayak","provider":"Festive Water Paddlesports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
