The Recon 10ft is a two-piece pedal fishing kayak with a fin drive, a 35-inch-wide W-hull and a 430 lb capacity. It stands out for a molded transducer recess that takes a fish finder without drilling, and for breaking into two sections that fit a mid-size car boot with no roof rack. It suits anglers who want a stable stand-up platform and electronics but have no garage or roof rack. Against one-piece pedal kayaks of similar width it trades hull length for portability; the fin drive is quiet, though it is not the shallow-water or reverse-capable drive some rivals offer.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 44 ratings. Owners praise the stability, the easy fish finder install and the quiet fin drive, and value that it fits in a car without a rack.
The Recon is a 10 ft modular fishing kayak with a fin drive pedal system. It is a sit-on-top with a rotomolded polyethylene W-hull. The hull is 35 inches wide and is built for seated and standing fishing in calm to moderate conditions, such as lakes, bays, and sheltered water.
The hull has a built-in recessed plate on the underside that accepts a transducer puck, so no drilling is needed. Route the fish finder wiring through the scupper holes. The recess measures 1.77 in hole-to-hole, 2.16 in inside width at the base, and 0.82 in from the holes to the front edge. Check your transducer maker's specs for compatibility.
The kayak breaks into two sections and assembles in about 5 minutes without tools. Each piece fits in the boot of most mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks without a roof rack. It has an under-mounted rudder, which leaves more cargo space, and 4 trolling motor mount options. The fin drive pedals are quiet and hands-free.
