The Raider is a 9.5 ft sit-on-top fishing kayak with a pedal propeller drive that gives hands-free forward motion and instant reverse. Its two-piece hull breaks down to fit in a mid-size SUV or hatchback boot, so it needs no roof rack or garage. The 35.4 in wide rotomolded hull carries up to 380 lb and comes with rod holders, accessory rails, a large hatch and a stadium seat. It suits anglers who fish docks, pilings and current seams and want to hold position without paddling; pedal kayaks with instant reverse are rare at this size, though the wide, heavy hull is slower to paddle than a slim touring kayak.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 52 ratings. Owners like the instant reverse and the easy car transport; the main complaints are weight and slow paddling.
The Raider is a 9.5 ft sit-on-top fishing kayak with a propeller drive. The drive is operated with your feet and gives full forward and instant reverse, so your hands stay free for the rod. It can position around docks, bridge pilings and current seams.
The kayak is made of two sections. The front and rear sections click and lock together with a modular clip system. Assembly takes about 5 minutes and needs no tools. The sections fit in the boot of most mid-size cars and SUVs without a roof rack, and they stand upright against a wall for storage.
The hull is rotomolded polyethylene and is wide and stable. It holds 380 lb and is stable enough for standing casts in calm conditions. Rod holders, accessory rail tracks, a large storage hatch and a stadium seat are included.
