Recently bought two of Jim Martin's Santa Cruz Kayaks (SOT Raptors). My wife and I have kayaked a little bit in the past, but every time she gets in one, she immediately turtles it. She told me I could buy a couple, but I had to find one that she couldn't flip. These Raptors are about as close as you can come to a kayak that just won't turn over. You have to intentionally try to turtle these things.

My hat is off to Jim Martin and his design prowess as a boat builder. One of my buddies saw ours and he's ready to snag one for himself. One more addition to the fleet.

I've been fishing out of my Raptor now for 10x or so and I have to say this is one freakin sweet kayak. I might look slightly "different" but it tracks well, has great stability and is pretty fast.

Have I said this thing is stable? It is super stable just as stable as boats that have twice the width ad the center but is 100x easier to paddle.

They can be a little hard to get your hands on one, especially on the East Coast. I recommend just getting in contact with the company directly.
