Old Town Topwater 106 Fishing Kayak
Description
The Old Town Topwater 106 is a compact, high-performance sit-on-top fishing kayak built for anglers who refuse to compromise between stability and maneuverability. At 10 feet 6 inches long, it punches well above its size class, delivering the fishability of a larger kayak in a hull that's easy to transport and quick to respond on the water. The patented DoubleU Hull design sets this kayak apart, offering a pontoon-style ride that glides silently through calm coves, tidal flats, and open water alike - making it the go-to platform for sneaking up on wary fish.
Built for stand-up fishing with EVA foam deck pads and a breathable ElementAir seat, the Topwater 106 keeps you comfortable and stable through long days on the water. From a universal transducer mount ready for your favorite fish finder to dedicated rod holders and organized tackle storage, every detail has been thought through with the serious angler in mind. With a usable weight capacity of 365 lb, it can handle gear-loaded fishing trips without breaking a sweat.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Is the Topwater 106 stable enough to stand and fish?
Yes - the Topwater 106 was designed with stand-up fishing as a primary use case. The DoubleU Hull creates a wide, pontoon-inspired base that resists tipping and gives you a solid, confident platform to stand and cast from. The EVA foam deck pads add traction underfoot so you stay secure even when conditions get choppy.
Can I mount a fish finder on the Topwater 106?
Absolutely. The Topwater 106 includes a revolutionary universal transducer mounting system that makes installing a fish finder or sonar transducer straightforward and secure - no drilling required. It's compatible with most popular brands and models on the market.
Is this kayak good for beginners?
The Topwater 106 is beginner-friendly thanks to its wide 34.5" beam and ultra-stable DoubleU Hull, which gives new paddlers a confidence-inspiring, forgiving ride. At the same time, its performance and feature set will satisfy experienced anglers for years to come. It's a great first fishing kayak that you won't outgrow quickly.
How does the Topwater 106 ship? Will I need to assemble it?
The Topwater 106 ships as a fully formed hull - no assembly of the boat itself is required. It arrives ready to rig with your accessories. Because of its size and weight (75 lb), it typically ships via freight on a pallet. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for specific delivery details and a delivery ETA for your area.
What's the difference between usable weight capacity and total weight capacity?
Total weight capacity (440 lb) is the maximum weight the boat can support in the water, including everything - the assembled boat, paddler, gear, and pets. Usable weight capacity (365 lb) is what's available for people, gear, and pets after subtracting the assembled boat's own weight of 75 lb. When planning your load, use the usable capacity number - 365 lb - as your practical limit.
Does the Topwater 106 come with a paddle?
A paddle is not included with the Topwater 106. You will need to purchase a paddle separately. We recommend sizing your paddle based on your height and the kayak's 34.5" width - typically a 230-240 cm paddle works well for most anglers on this hull.
