WTB Wilderness Thresher

[makobob]

Andy or CJ, What colors of the Thresher 14 do you have coming in and when will they arrive? My AI is gone and I am READY.

[ericko]

Bob the first ones only come in HOT PINK...no matter you'll still catch fish bigger than most of us( or me at least)..

[Dannowar]

Might have to trade up in the future. Sick boat. Stoked if you get one bob.

Hot pink, purple, lime green. If I catch bigger or more fish then some it is because of the areas I fish and how I fish them. Just ask Svendawg or Chuck D. Most of Baja is Virginal from a yak as you can fish areas others overlook or overrun. Dannowar, when mine gets here you can come try it out in the surf.

Boats will start shipping around Sept 1 on the 140 and Oct 1 on the 155. We will have a run of colors however with early availability being first come first serve we will end up taking whatever we can get. When they come in I will let you know though!

Thanks Ice,

That Bait Tank you see there is a first run Prototype that we will be changing up a good bit and will have a Spring release date.

[makobob]

Thanks for the info Andy and CJ. So I will not have mine for my 2 Sept Gonzaga trip, bummer. On the positive side it will be here for Gonzaga on the FLY trip in October.

Just got off the phone with CJ at OEX Mission Bay. Order placed for Thresher 140 in the new color FLINT.

What color is "Flint"... can you describe it to us?

New camo in tan, grey, black, red? Cannot find color chart of it yet. Should be a very NON GLARE color good for Baja.

[Widgeon]

That thing is bad ass.
Looks like it's loaded for bear.
I'm pitching a tent.

Wondering if someone can explain the padded strap on the seat that runs from the back of the seat up the side and looks like it connects to the gear trac forward of the seat..... Also the name of this particular seat...I could look it up ... Thanks ....

[alanw]

That strap looks like it is a knee brace, for extra control while paddling.

[Widgeon]

On my tarpon 140, the seat is built in.
Possibly the same deal here, though this one looks a bit more Cush.

[ZUMAN]

This just might be the boat I've been waiting for to replace my old Ride 135:luxhello:

I'm drooling over the storage and the FF pod thingamagigy!!!!


And I think that padded strap is for carrying the yak??

I was drooling too, but MINE is on order now. OEX will be happy to order yours too!!!! Pre-order YOURS tomorrow, these are going to be popular. Designed for launching and landing in the surf, should be a fantastic BAJA kayak.

[LastCast]

Pretty sure those straps are thigh pads. This Threasher has all the optional equipment on it.

[easyday]

Going to start saving now....

[Siebler]

Sorry for late reply guys. Those were Thigh Straps for extra control in surf, not standard equipment. That 155 shown in pics above has all of my gear on it up at Outdoor Retailer this last week.

Flint is a new color that is replacing sand. It is a Tan grey and Black camo. Probably would be better suited for the Desert Camo name and the Desert should be Urban if I were naming them. Other than maybe the names, Shane did a great job on all new Confluence colors this year.

The seat on the Thresher is the same Phase 3 AirPro that we have on the current Tarpon line of boats. It is awesome.

[ZUMAN]

Where are the side handles?
I cant imagine they built a yak without them??

[Siebler]

They are a molded under grip on the boat as opposed to a standard Webbing handle or IM handle. Super grippy and easy to use plus they arnt in way while entering/exiting boat or paddling.

[makobob]

CJ can you post a picture of the handles please.

Guys it is rough having to WAIT for the new yak. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Bummer.

[Siebler]

Front/Rear or the side grips?

I am sure I can source some for ya. My boat is still just a few weeks out.

[makobob]

CJ when I roll out of this thing, which I am sure to do at some time, I can get in from the rear, but can I grab that side handle to get leveraged to get back in?

[makobob]

Side grips please. Waiting, waiting, TOMORROW is SEPTEMBER 1st. Hope it ships Tuesday and arrives soon!!!

At least I can wait the week out in Gonzaga. CJ, would you go ahead and install the Dragonfly with battery please.
