Because of the open cockpit and plenty stability, the boat is quite easy to get into even from the water after taking a swim.Any water that finds its way into the cockpit will drain right back out through four drain holes in the cockpit sides. There is ample built-in storage below the fore and rear deck and additionally under the cockpit floor.The entire boat is built from 4mm Okoume marine grade plywood with internal support where needed.  The ‘ladder-frame’ construction with dual backbone and interlocking bulkheads allows the installation of various pedal drive systems which will be interesting especially but not only for anglers.The M-Yak 500 combines high performance, stability and generous built-in storage with the comfort and convenience of a sit-on-top kayak.
