Whether you're working the shoreline for bass, sneaking into shallow marshes for redfish, or drifting calm lakes for walleye, this kayak delivers a stable, versatile platform that serious fishermen trust. The DoubleU Hull is one of the most talked-about stability innovations in the fishing kayak market, earning loyal fans from weekend warriors to tournament competitors. Its compact 10'6\" length means you can car-top it, haul it solo, and access water that bigger kayaks can't reach - without sacrificing any of the features that make a day on the water productive. If you're looking for a fishing kayak that's ready to go right out of the box and built to last for years of hard use, the Topwater 106 earns its place in any angler's garage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSit-on-Top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePropulsion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eActivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFishing, Hunting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Layer Polyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRudder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of Paddlers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElementAir Seating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHatch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 ft 6 in (3.2 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.5 in (87.6 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRemovable Seat Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 lb (2.27 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembled Boat Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 lb (34 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUsable Weight Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e365 lb (166 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal Weight Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440 lb (200 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRod Holders\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAccessory Tracks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0759239301333\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/oldtown-scupper-fit-guide-web_d36ff731-b3df-433e-956f-166508dee400.pdf?v=1787083511\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Scupper Fit Guide\"\u003eScupper Fit Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/otc_owners_manual_web_a6ed848d-e347-431b-8046-f8637c080ebf.pdf?v=1787083515\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Old Town Owner's Manual\"\u003eOld Town Owner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the Topwater 106 stable enough to stand and fish?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - the Topwater 106 was designed with stand-up fishing as a primary use case.
