Picture of Scorpio 170

Scorpio 170


Just like its Cetus composite cousin, the Scorpio provides a very efficient hull shape that is super stable and very easy to control.

With a round chined and slightly V'd hull and generous bow rocker the Scorpio runs waves like no other polyethylene expedition boat out there!

Made from P&H's very own Corelite foam core material to save weight, increase toughness and give great stiffness, the Scorpio is a design that will suit both the professional sea kayaker and the individual owner who is looking for a stable and fast kayak for more exposed conditions with greater all round durability than the composite version.

Colours: Sunbeam, Lava, Electric Blue, Emerald (CALL FOR AVAILABILITY)

Every one of P&H's plastic sea kayaks are roto-moulded using a unique material.

‘Corelite’ is a triple-layered material that combines a central foam core with tough outer and inner skins of abrasion resistant polyethylene.

The positive aspects of owning a sea kayak made from Corelite are that they are extremely durable and versatile. If you choose to venture in and out of coastline caves and happen to knock up against any rocks whilst manoeuvring, you don’t have to worry about damaging the hull of your boat to any great extent. Again with running ashore at the end of a long trip, Corelite allows you come in at full speed and not worry about damage. It can take a hard hit and live to tell the tale.

Corelite can be up to 3kgs lighter than other manufacturers equivalent models, easier to handle and easier to paddle.
 

 

 GREATER RIGIDITY
Improving efficiency through the water and greatly reducing flex in rougher conditions making it a suitable material for kayaks which will venture out in rougher conditions. It also has much improved resistance to general denting while in storage and while transporting on your roof rack.
INCREASED SAFETY The lower specific gravity (SG) of our triple layer material increases its inherent buoyancy and makes the kayak float much higher when full of water, assisting with self-rescue techniques.
INCREASED DURABILITY Even if the outer shell is damaged, the core will not absorb any water, leak or suffer any lasting damage and can be easily repaired at your leisure.
