Fourteen feet, \u003cstrong\u003e60 pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e, and 350 pounds of capacity — a highly stable, lightweight hull that Eddyline builds for exceptional tracking, stability and paddling efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixty pounds for a fourteen-foot fishing kayak is the headline. Most boats this size and this well equipped are eighty or ninety, and that difference decides whether you fish on a Tuesday evening or only when someone can help you load. The side carry handles are perfectly balanced for solo handling, and they double as paddle holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rigging is real. \u003cstrong\u003eDual accessory tracks on the gunwales plus a 6-inch track on the center spine\u003c\/strong\u003e in the footwell, so a fish finder, a camera arm and a rod holder all mount without a drill. \u003cstrong\u003eTwo flush mount rod holders\u003c\/strong\u003e sit behind the seat. A rear tankwell carries a crate, and three hatches — including a large front hatch — handle internal storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery Eddyline is built from Carbonlite 2000.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is thermoformed rather than rotomolded, from a sheet of two or three compatible layers fused into one. Eddyline’s own description is that it “looks and performs like fiberglass” at a lower cost, and the outer surfaces are harder than other plastics and gel coatings, which is what gives you the abrasion and UV resistance. Compared with a polyethylene hull — cheap and impact resistant, but heavy and prone to abrasion and distortion — you get dimensional stability, real stiffness, and a boat that stays light without going to composite money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14' \/ 427 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29\" \/ 74 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHull Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 lbs \/ 27.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 lbs \/ 158 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddler Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHatches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three, including a large front hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Holders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two flush mount, behind the seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Tracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual gunwale tracks plus a 6\" center spine track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear tankwell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHull Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbonlite 2000 thermoformed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inshore, lakes and ponds, fishing, rivers and flowing water (Class I-II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 lbs at Fourteen Feet:\u003c\/strong\u003e The number that changes how often you fish.

This is a fully rigged fourteen-foot fishing kayak at 60 pounds, where a comparable rotomolded boat runs twenty to thirty pounds heavier. The Carbonlite hull is also stiffer and has a harder outer surface, so it resists abrasion and holds its shape instead of oil-canning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I stand and fish on it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddyline describes it as highly stable, but they do not publish a standing rating and we will not invent one. It is a 29-inch hull, which is narrower than the 34 to 40-inch stand-and-fish boats.

A sheet of two or three compatible layers is fused into one and formed, rather than rotomolded. Eddyline says it “looks and performs like fiberglass” at a lower cost, with harder outer surfaces than other plastics and gel coatings for better abrasion and UV resistance. Scratches and gouges that do not penetrate the substrate are repairable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddyline covers every kayak against defects in materials and workmanship for \u003cstrong\u003ethree years\u003c\/strong\u003e from the date of purchase. Deck rigging is covered for two years. The warranty is limited to the original owner and only takes effect once the warranty registration is completed, so do that when the boat arrives. Eddyline never covers scupper cart damage, freight damage, improper storage, improper use, abuse, normal wear and tear, or color fading from UV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow do I take care of it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse it with clean fresh water after you paddle — that is usually all it needs. \u003cstrong\u003eNever use acetone, other strong solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners on an Eddyline.\u003c\/strong\u003e Store it indoors if you can; if it lives outside, get it up off the ground, cover it, and secure it. Carbonlite is UV resistant, but years of direct sun will still break it down. Eddyline recommends treating the hatch covers regularly with something like 303 Aerospace Protectant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does the Eddyline Caribbean 14 FS ship?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ways. If you are inside our delivery area, local delivery shows up as a shipping option at checkout and we bring the boat to you ourselves. We call ahead to set a meet-up, and since we do the unloading there is nothing for you to inspect or sign at the curb. Otherwise it ships LTL freight with a carrier running a 99.9% damage-free rate. On a freight delivery, look the boat over before you sign the receipt and write down any damage you see. That one step protects your claim. Then email clear photos to \u003ca href=\"mailto:helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com\"\u003ehelpdesk@cfoutdoors.com\u003c\/a\u003e within 2 hours. We email the full details once your order is placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Eddyline Kayaks","offers":[{"title":"Mango (Blemish)","offer_id":58110961713312,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red Pearl (Blemish)","offer_id":58110964269216,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sapphire Blue (Blemish)","offer_id":58110961746080,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Seagrass Green\/Silver (Blemish)","offer_id":58110964301984,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Teal (Blemish)","offer_id":58110961778848,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White (Blemish)","offer_id":58110961811616,"sku":null,"price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/cfoutdoors.com\/products\/eddyline-caribbean-14-fs-lightweight-sit-on-top-fishing-kayak","provider":"Caney Fork Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
