If it's on the internet, it must be true right? Seriously, there's dozens of articles and posts online suggesting the life span is 10-15 years if taken care of, like this one http://www.mademan.com/mm/how-long-d...yaks-last.html

Plenty more: http://www.bing.com/search?q=plastic+kayak+life+span



I've posted about a dangerously sun damaged yak before:

Just like any other plastic, YMMV
