Now, let's address some frequently asked questions about the Riot Kayaks Escape 12 Angler:
Can you stand up in it? I would not recommend standing up in this kayak.
What is the max load on this kayak? I'm not sure of the exact poundage, but given its 12-foot length, ample stowage options, good freeboard, and sturdy construction, it can handle a substantial load. You may want to contact the manufacturer for specific weight capacity details.
I would like to purchase scupper plugs. If they are needed, what size should I get? The Riot Kayaks Escape 12 Angler kayak comes with scupper plugs included. However, most users rarely find the need to use them as the water does not usually come up through the holes. Instead, they serve as convenient access points for cleaning away any messes from the fish.
Does it come with a paddle? When I purchased this kayak, it did not come with a paddle. However, it did include a seat and a trolley anchor system. Best wishes.
I would not
I'm not sure of the exact poundage, but I have to believe you would have a tough time exceeding it. This is a 12 foot kayak with lots of stowage internally and externally. I has good freeboard as well. You may want to check with the manufacturer to get the exact specs.
Steve G. is correct. This Kayak came with the plugs. However I rarely use mine as the water never comes up through the holes and it makes a good place to wash any messes away from the fish.
When I bought mines it did not. It did come with a seat, and a trolley anchor system. Best wishes
