Just think about it . . . a kayak that tracks well, is roomy and comfortable, low in profile to deal with wind and stable enough to relax from your first moment in the boat.  AND it's light enough to lift with two fingers.  Comparable boats are frequently double or even triple the weight of the Ganzer.  You'll paddle more often due to the ultra lightweight convenience. The Ganzer 105 is a for-real boat with earnest performance characteristics.  Quick enough for a 20 mile day, roomy enough for several days worth of gear.  Practical enough for a 30 minute no-stress hiatus from daily aggravations.  The Ganzer 105 = paddling without weightlifting!

KCH Hull

A Kevlar & Carbon Hybrid that’s 50% Kevlar and 50% Carbon.  Durable enough for most paddlers.  Capable of taking occasional scrapes and bumps with rocks, beaver dams, etc.

Touring Tall Seat

Has a nice tall back and small wings that provide support without restricting movement.

Cushion is adequate for most, although fishermen who spend several hours in the boat without moving much prefer the Extra Comfort Tall seat.  

The seat back is easily adjustable to forward, vertical and aft leaning positions. 

It is also adjustable forward and aft to compensate for added gear or a dog that may force the hull out of proper trim for optimal paddling.

Vacuum Infusion Process

Vacuum Infusion Process hulls are significantly different than hand laminated hulls.  The resin to fabric ratio is better with VIP so the hull is noticeably stronger than hand laminated boats.

Cost for a VIP hull is higher than for hand laminated because of the requirement for extra materials in order to achieve the same degree of stiffness.  The vacuum compresses the laminate more so than hand laminating.  As a result, the laminate is thinner and not stiff enough to paddle properly.  In order to achieve appropriate stiffness, extra layers of Kevlar, Innegra, etc. must be added to the laminate schedule.  Each extra layer increases the strength of the hull yet the weight (due to the VIP Process) is the same or slightly less than hand laminated hulls.  More layers equals more strength.

There are also increased supplies (costs) used (vacuum film, sealing tapes, flow media, peel ply, resin tubing, etc.) which are consumed in making VIP hulls.

Essentially, both methods of laminating are excellent when properly executed.  Hand laminates will be less expensive and not quite as strong as VIP.  VIP hulls cost more but offer a more hi-tech composite that is noticeably tougher.

Shipping Information

We ship our boats via courier shipping with first-to-final-mile delivery, which means that your boat will stay on one truck and will not change hands from our door to your door. After you place your order, we will contact our network of couriers and/or put it out for bid, and contact you with cost and delivery estimates. Depending on your boat's destination, this process may take several weeks - the further from our location, the longer the process may take. We ask that you inspect your boat for any shipping damage prior to signing for and accepting the delivery.

Please be aware that these are large, premium boats requiring special handling. We’ve provided an estimated shipping cost, but the final amount may vary depending on distance, delivery location, and the transporter we secure for your order. Kenco does not profit from shipping—charges reflect only the actual delivery expense.
