Overview

Pelican's Argo 100X is a 10-foot sit-in recreational kayak built from lightweight Ram-X material. It uses a twin-arched hull and holds up to 275 pounds of rider and gear.

Pelican leans on hull shape rather than added bulk for stability, using a multi-chine design that also makes entry and exit easier. Foam blocks built into the hull add backup floatation on top of a flatter hull profile.

Performance notes

The twin-arched multi-chine hull is what gives the Argo 100X its stability, spreading the boat's contact with the water wider than a rounded hull would. Ram-X is Pelican's high molecular weight polyethylene, chosen to cut material weight down to 36 pounds without giving up impact resistance.
