Default ... new load of kayaks

Looks like the Plymouth Walmart just got a load of 20 kayaks made by three different brands in about six different sizes and designs .... displayed vertically in an outdoor space near the entrance.

None had any prices on them so I was able to get an employee to determine the price for a Pelican ProFisher-12' single seat kayak/stand up paddle board at $397. It was easily the largest kayak of the group of 20, so probably it has the highest price.

Is it a kayak, or is it a stand up paddle board designed for fishing? What is it? It has a large beach chair style seat, a large stand up spot, four fishing rod holders and looks by design and size to be plenty stable for stand up paddling and fishing, plus a large sit down seat as already mentioned. Probably, knowing what I know ...... it's a kayak with stand-up fishing/paddling capability?

Weight ...... maybe 55-lbs, which is not very light weight, and just a guess? Color ..... darkest dark green. Capacity ..... one large comfortable looking seat with a high back for one person.

No State of NH registration, insurance, or gasoline needed ...... just you, a pfd, a whistle, and a paddle.

Here's a question for the forum experts: Is there a low priced stand-up bimini sun/rain top made for a vessel like this that's about 30" wide or is a large el cheapo Mexican straw sombrero the best for blocking out that hot NH sun while fishing the big lake?
