In Response To: Off Topic: Redfish King - Cargo Capacity (Wes Kisting)

Wes,

I don't know the capacity in square feet or such, but I took my King down the Sacramento River from Redding to the Delta, took a couple of weeks. Carried all my camping gear and 2 weeks food. I am not a minamalist nor a fish eater, so I carried it all. I used the river water through a purifier, worked fine. The only modification (quit reading here Joe!) I made to the kayak was to enlarge the front hatch, used the rear template for both. Short answer, yes it will support a 2 week trip just fine.

Happy trails, Dave
