Tom, thanks for the advice. We will start doing that. Its hard to give an accurate account of how a kayak handles because it is relative. I paddle 15' and 17' sea kayaks, compared to them, the loon 126 is slower but because of its length, easier to turn. Compared to a sit on top fishing kayak, this kayak would be fast. The kayak is wide compared to a sea kayak therefore it will have far more initial stability and less secondary stability. Compared to a sit on top, it would be slightly less than a predator 13.
Love the seats. I wonder if they would fit my Loon tandem? The dashboard is pretty cool.
Colorado Kayaking & RV we could find out. The ACS 2.0 seat was originally from the necky line they make a few versions of it.
Good write up but you need to get it on the water and let us know your thoughts on how it handles...Thanks

I love my loon 126!
They are a great kayak indeed.
Got mine today, and on the back it had a sticker "Made in China"I really thought they were made in the USA.
I think there are only USA made
Can you get a dry skirt for the loon?
Ashley Vail yes we sell a skirt that fits the current year Loon 126.
