the seat cage reinforces the sides and likely makes them less likely to buckle or fold and cause water to come in ; that was a very smart modification and improvement to the Tucktec
Watched this so I can put together the one that Tucktec sent as a donation to Xpose Hope and Kim's Place, a house for trafficked women for our annual silent auction. Now I need to order one. Because this is remarkable. I need the help to stand up as I am handicapped....and the velcro in the bow and stern. WOW. Thank you Tucktec for your donation, and of course, now I have to order one for me.
I was surprised the cotter pins seem to have been discontinued. Where the deemed not needed or why else? I am really looking forward to receiving the yellow pro 2025 model I ordered. Watching this video several times so I can assemble in 5 minutes on my first go. Happy paddling.
Just when I thought these things couldn’t get any better😂 I did like the functionality of being able to lift up the skeg when I needed to but the tradeoff for the new folding style and I’m assuming stronger construction seems fair
do you think it will be some kind of retrofit for the older tucktec to get the seat cage? it looks like that solved the weak point of the older generations that some people had theirs folded in from
So no more retract line for the skeg? You just rely on it swinging up as it hits bottom, I guess. Seems like that's gonna make landing trickier, especially where it's rocky.
Hmm I just noticed, this boat is all yellow, and the one in yesterday's video is solid red. But the yellow one on the web site has wide black stripes on the edges of the shell. So which way will they be when they ship?
We ordered this new model on July 17th and sent multiple emails. Greg was great in communication but the deadline has extended a few times. And I haven’t seen it shipped yet! I am so missing my last boat.
Keep checking shipping through carrier website, I didn’t get an email from Tucktec until it was was already a day from arriving, ordered mine July 25th and got it today
is there a video to attach the stabilizers? also: the seat cage needs to go in one way, not the other(flipped) the plastic part that grips the seat angles slightly down, if u put it in with that opening slightly up the bar on the seat doesn't go in (or itdoesn't sit on floor)
