Comments about Necky Looksha 17 Kayak with Rudder - '09 Seconds:
I bought this boat on May 2nd, I absolutely love it! But it is a little heavy, takes some care to load on my Jeep by myself. I am a bigger guy and this boat fits me great! I just bought the Necky Looksha 14 after returning a sit on top that I couldn't carry myself unfortunately, this will be my primary boat from now on as it is lighter than the 17.
The rudder is fantastic! I am planning on camping with this boat soon.
