The Mercury GTX comes with a cushioned seat pad and inflatable back support for extra comfort. A great touring kayak that takes apart into easily managed sections which clip together as a solo, tandem or longer if you need. Nose section fits into cockpit for compact storage.
Seat details: The Mercury GTX is fitted with a comfortable AIR seat. This has a pneumatically adjustable backrest for easy adjusting for comfort. Seat back deflates so the nose section of the kayak slides easily into the cockpit. Seat covers are made of highly durable and comfortable,
honey-comb patterned material in combination with mesh-like fabric laminated and molded over EVA foam.
The Mercury GTX keel style rudder offers greater maneuverability than most rudders and has a blade that retracts to avoid damage. For maintenance, refer to the Point65 Repair Manual
