| It's looking like a 9 footer would fit pretty well. |

I just received an Aire Tomcat inflatalbe kayak to use on my C-Dory TomCat! I know it sounds a bit .......kinky?. But this is a great looking inflatable for 2. Easy to inflate and small enough to stow. Unfortunately it is about 10 degrees here in Vermont tonight so I don't think I'll try it on the water this evening. Heres what it looks like...

To re-cap on this subject; I ended up buying a used 10 ft Zodiac. It has wood floors. I have to say that even though it does fit on the top of my boat it is quite heavy and a major pain to get it up there. Just about impossible to do by myself. I'm going to try to sell it this summer and get something smaller and lighter. I'm thinking something with inflatable floors and no longer than 8 ft.
I saw one of those AK series boats while duck hunting in Nov. I was VERY impressed with the quallity. It looked really tough. I think there a bit out of my price range though. Is there still a Gary Kings in Anchorage?? If so where is it? I miss that place. I'm going to Anch next weekend and would love to go there and check things out. |

Sadly; no, Gary King's closed up shop here in Anchorage a couple of years ago after the big box stores moved in.  I really liked Gary King's when they were still in business. 
Jim King operates his Alaska Series business out of a warehouse here in town and only deals through the web and telephone. I am sure if he is in town when you visit he would be happy to show you what he has if you coordinate with him. Give him a shout via email or on the phone.
His web site is:
http://www.alaskaseries.com/
Phone is: (907) 248-2900
Good luck!
Jim |
