Big Jim is a remarkably tough kayak and if you are after a tough kayak, this is it! This craft has an optional stern mounted motor bracket and performs magnificently under power with up to a maximum of a 2.5 HP electric, or petrol motor. This one or two person kayak is a dream on the water and is as stable as your kitchen table. The design is something special with accentuated bow profile and exceptional attention to detail. Made from 0.9mm cold welded 1000 denier polyester and sealed in a PVC envelope, this craft has high resistance to tear, ultra violet light and salt water. Big Jim has two independent air compartments plus two inflatable seats with adjustable back-rests. The seats are easily removed and three pairs of internal D-rings allow the seats to accommodate one or two people to paddle. This high quality kayak comes complete with two aluminium paddles and includes a rubbing strake fender around the full circumference of Kayak, as well as two D-rings on the bow for towing. The craft also features the inflatable Easyride floor making it very comfortable in any conditions. The floor is easily removed and doubles as a comfortable mattress if camping out. There is a splash deck at the bow and stern to protect your gear. The inflatable tubes on all Aristocraft models including the kayaks are manufactured from 0.9mm multi layered cold welded 1000 denier polyester fabric that is sealed in a PVC envelope providing high resistance to tear, ultra violet light and salt water. All the valves on the boats are partially recessed.
