That's exactly what I got. In fact, both of mine are Pelicans from Academy. The SOT was an After-Thanksgiving special - they got 10 which were advertised in a flyer.

When I first got in, I found it too tippy. I paddled a bit and seemed to get used to it, but since I had made outriggers for my Kayak/Sailboat, and the SOT had a groove where I could strap the bar between the outriggers w/o making any permanent attachements, I wanted to try it. That's the way I use it now. The outriggers are about 3 feet long, attached to the rear paddle holder/groove that is moled in.

I am planning a trip to Caddo Lake for Spring or Summer, and wonder if I should leave the SOT at home. I see there are some gators there. I think I want more between me and a gator than the SOT would offer.
