Multi-Chine Flat Bottom Hull & Keel Extension
The Argo 136XP features a proven multi-chine flat bottom hull with an integrated keel extension for superior tracking and stability. The broad, flat base maximizes water contact, providing excellent primary stability—ideal for novice paddlers stepping in and out. When you lean for turns, the multi-chine rails engage to boost secondary stability, keeping you upright in light chop or gentle currents.
The extended keel channel guides the kayak straight through water, reducing drift and minimizing corrective strokes. This combination of hull geometry and keel design ensures smooth, efficient paddling over longer distances while maintaining a rock-solid platform for both paddlers.
Patented Ram-X™ Material & Lightweight Construction
Crafted from Pelican’s patented Ram-X™ high-density polyethylene, the Argo 136XP strikes the perfect balance between featherweight portability and rugged resilience. At just 67 lbs, it’s significantly lighter than comparable 13′ tandems—making loading, unloading, and car-top transport a breeze. Despite the light weight, Ram-X™ ensures exceptional impact resistance, UV protection, and long-term durability for years of on-water adventures.
ERGOFIT™ Seating System & Adjustable Footrests
Enjoy hours on the water with the ERGOFIT™ seating system, featuring plush, adjustable seating for both bow and stern paddlers. High-density seat cushions and an adjustable backrest allow you to dial in the perfect angle for maximum support. Multiple contoured footrest positions accommodate paddlers of all heights, ensuring proper leg support and efficient paddle strokes.
Integrated knee pads provide additional comfort, reducing leg fatigue during extended paddling. The sit-in cockpit design offers shelter from wind and splash, keeping you sheltered and focused on the paddle rather than fighting cold air or spray.
Ample Storage Zones & Onboard Features
Stay prepared for any trip with multiple built-in storage solutions:
- Rear Quick-Lock Waterproof Hatch: A secure watertight hatch in the stern stores a dry bag, electronics, or snacks, ensuring valuables stay bone-dry.
- Front Bungee Tie-Down: The bow deck features heavy-duty bungee cords to fasten larger items such as a cooler, extra layers, or fishing gear.
- Cockpit Bottle Holder: Keep your water bottle or small drink within easy reach, so you stay hydrated without interrupting your paddling rhythm.
- Molded Accessory Mount Tracks: Two 1″ rigging tracks in the rear cockpit allow you to attach fish finders, GPS mounts, rod holders, or GoPro® brackets—customize on the fly.
- Molded Handles: Four ergonomic grab handles (front, rear, and side grips) make carrying and loading simple for one or two people.
- Paddle Tie-Down: Secure your paddle to the hull when you need both hands free for casting, taking photos, or breaks between strokes.
Lightweight Performance & High Load Capacity
Despite a hull weight of only 67 lbs, the Argo 136XP supports a maximum load of 500 lbs (combined rider and gear weight). Its 13′ length provides smooth glide and excellent tracking, making tandem paddling more efficient and reducing the need for constant course adjustments. The broad 35″ beam complements the flat bottom to offer easy stability—perfect for families, couples, or friends sharing the adventure.
The sit-in design lowers your center of gravity for improved wind protection, and the multi-chine hull transitions seamlessly from primary to secondary stability as you lean for turns or adjust weight. You’ll feel secure standing to fish in shallow water or stretching your legs during breaks.
