Description

The Moken 10 V2 is a compact fishing and recreational sit-on-top kayak made by Feelfree. It’s designed to offer many of the features of larger fishing kayaks (stability, storage, outfitting options) while being easier to transport, store, and paddle. It is paddle-only in standard form (no motor or pedal drive included by default) but is rudder-ready (with optional Beaver Tail rudder).

Specifications Summary (Specs Table)

Features & Upgrades (V2 Version)

The “V2” version of the Moken 10 includes upgrades and features to improve comfort, functionality, and usability:

• EZ Rider Multi-Position + Height-Adjustable Seat — gives adjustable seating for better posture and comfort over longer use.

• Adjustable Foot Pegs — more flexibility and ergonomic fit for different paddlers.

• Uni-Track Accessory Rails — for mounting accessories like fish finders, rod holders, camera mounts, etc.

• Reinforced Standing Platform — improved “spot casting” capability; a flatter, firm area where paddlers can stand or shift position more confidently.

• Flush Mounted Rod Holders (x2) with Rod Leash — behind the seat for trolling or to secure rods when drifting.

• Tankwell Storage (front and rear) with bungee lashings — room to stow gear like coolers, packs, gear boxes.

• Wheel in the Keel — a molded wheel built into the hull keel to help haul the kayak over hard surfaces (driveways, slipways, etc.) without needing a separate trolley.

• Rudder-Ready (“Beaver Tail Rudder Ready”) — option to equip a foot-operated rudder (Beaver Tail style) for improved tracking and control, especially in winds or currents.

• Miscellaneous comfort & utility touches: molded carry handles, dual paddle keepers, front console lid, stand-up leash, drain plug, etc.

Performance & Handling

• Stability: Very good. The wide 33-inch beam combined with hull design gives a stable platform, even when standing or shifting weight. Ideal for fishing, casting, or switching posture.

• Maneuverability: Because it is compact (10 ft) it is easier to maneuver in tighter areas, shallow water, or close quarters than longer boats. However, being shorter and wider means more drag and potentially less straight-line tracking compared to longer kayaks. Rudder will help.

• Transport & Portability: At ~65 lbs (without seat), with the wheel-in-keel feature and molded handles, it is manageable for one person to move short distances; however, it’s not light enough to carry far on a roof by oneself with ease.

• Paddling Efficiency: The shorter length limits glide between paddle strokes compared to long touring kayaks, but for fishing, ponds, inshore, small lakes, the trade-off is often acceptable.

Final Summary

The Feelfree Moken 10 V2 is a well-rounded, compact fishing kayak that blends stability, useful features, and reasonable portability. It’s not a speed demon or long-range touring craft, but for inshore fishing, weekend trips on lakes/rivers, and anglers who want enough capacity and outfitting without the bulk of larger boats, it hits a strong middle ground.

If I were to recommend gear or tweaks:

• Grab the rudder if you want better tracking, especially in wind or chop.

• Use decent paddles with wrist comfort if you’ll be out long.

• Consider a crate or storage box sized to fit in the tankwell, plus make sure your vehicles/roof racks can handle the 65-lb load.
