West Marine Tide Runner 8.8 Sit-On-Top Fishing Kayak
The West Marine Tide Runner 8.8 is a compact sit-on-top fishing kayak built for anglers who want a capable, well-equipped boat that one person can easily handle. It weighs 47.4 lb and has two integrated stern wheels and carry handles at the bow, stern, and sides, making it easier to carry from your vehicle to the launch. On the water, a padded seat with an adjustable backrest and molded-in footrests keep you comfortable and braced while you paddle or cast.
The deck is set up for fishing. It has an adjustable rod holder, flush-mount rod holders behind the seat, and two accessory gear tracks for adding mounts and electronics. There is plenty of storage, with bungee-secured front and rear tankwells, a dedicated storage box for tackle, and a sealed 6" deck hatch. A cup holder, paddle rest, and drain plug round out the layout. At 8'8" long, the Tide Runner 8.8 is a good fit for lakes, ponds, slow rivers, and protected coastal waters.
