A super stiff structure supports long hulls and heavy loads XT kayaks are fast, and over-all paddling performance is exceptional. Structural I-beams built into the sides make a very stiff, yet lightweight frame structure. This lets us build long and efficient hulls with consistent rocker, and a multi-chine cross section further enhances performance. XT kayaks share the Quest's ample multi-chamber side flotation and the hulls are free of thwarts so space is unobstructed. The moderate depth of XT hulls minimizes wind effects and gets the gunwales out of the way of your hands for comfortable paddling – quite unlike heavy load haulers of yesteryear.
XT-17 Solo/Double is a fast, easy paddling kayak for two moderate size paddlers. To change a XT-17 solo into a double, you simply remove the solo deck and replace it with a deck with two cockpits (very easy because the deck is attached with a Velcro strip). Both decks are included (solo and double) to give you maximum flexibility in terms of its use - and the package price is hard to beat!
