I've been away from the sport for a while and now older and with another  back surgery or two, I am finding myself intrigued by these two-piece roto boats with fin drives, but am not finding much feedback on them. These would be for protected inland waters, not surf launches!
Does anyone here have actual experience with one? Even seen one?

I’d be worried about 10 little screws in plastic being the only thing keeping that together. I know as we get older it gets harder to lift the weight, but there’s always trailers. Monkeyfist has a heavy yak and just launches like a power boat.

A friend of me in Japan has a modular kayak. Different brand though (kingfisher point 65). I believe he has a third (middle) section that he can use when he takes his kid fishing with him.

From what he told me, he likes the kayak and uses it to fish Tokyo Bay for snapper, mackerel and other salt water fish (big water but fairly calm). The modular concept allows for easy storage, also if you have no garage or shed, and easy transport in your car.

I'm sure issues will appear as these systems are put to harder use, but I bet they are here to stay. I just like the idea of not having to have a trailer, of moving only half the weight at a time, and being about to stow a couple of kayaks in the back of a truck with a locking canopy, especially if pulling a small travel trailer.
