jackson kayaks?

[Siebler]

PAL Donated one to HOW San Diego. It is a very nice boat however everybody who has paddled it tends to agree it is not really a boat youd want for La Jolla.

Jackson is very popular on the gulf coast and such. Never hear any complaints about them.

I just like the seat

Ya looks like hobie did a knockoff of their seat design.

Native had a high profile "lawn chair" style seat years before Jackson introduced the Cuda. Jackson evolved the idea by offering high and low seat mounting positions.

Hobie's PA12 seat is generations beyond either of the simple Jackson or Native designs. It's trick! So much adjustability, and it stows out of the way.

My point is merely that the manufacturers have been building on their competitors' designs since the first sit-on-tops hit the beach. I wonder... what's next?

Jackson's boats have influenced the industry much like Malibu fishing-first deck designs did. I think they're great for rivers and east coast / gulf coast flats. Good thinking - that's where most of the market lives.
