Great Info Starfish Thanks
Great that starfish got the skinny out on the Native Watercraft. You can save a "few" bucks on that one. That said, as a kind of hybrid it will be interesting to see what folks have to say once they put them on the water. Without scuppers, I wonder how they will handle the faster water. On estuarys they should be great.

Good Tying and Good Fishing!

Many of you have confirmed the first thought I had when I heard of the Orvis kayak.Originally Posted by starfish
Boonie hat $20 -- Orvis boonie hat $45
Men's walking shoes $65 -- Orvis men's walking shoes $125
Fishing Kayak $1000 -- Orvis kayak $2000
So I was not too far off on kayak markup though I missed the starting price.
As with fishing rods mere price is not the whole story. Does the boat come with a lifetime guarantee?
Does it have a nice big Orvis logo on the deck? Doesn't it just make you feel better to know that, when you stand in this Kayak, Orvis is standing behind you?

The boat from Native/Heritage does in fact have a lifetime warranty, so it's definitely not value added for Orvis.Originally Posted by Bear742

Thanks for the quick reply. I am convinced that Orvis is the Smirnov of outdoor gear. When Seagrams came up with a similarly priced premium vodka to challenge them, Smirnov raised their price to add to the curb appeal. Now really really premium vodkas are beating Smirnov at the same game.Originally Posted by starfish
