Pelican Castaway 100 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The reason Pelicans and other such brands are so cheap is because they're not rotomolded. Rotomolding produces the best quality and most durable end product. All major brands are made this way- Ocean Kayak, Wilderness, Malibu, Cobra, Hobie...

If the price is what's catching your eye, you're better off buying a used rotomolded kayak than a new thermoformed one IMO.
