PADDLE OR POWER
The Viking Tempo Fisherman xs single kayak, and the Tempo Fisherman II double kayak, answer the long awaited call for stable, roomy fishing and expedition kayaks. Both models feature comfortable moulded seats, backrest and large front and rear wells for fish and gear. These kayaks are super stable, and have been designed to be powered by an electric motor. Paddle or motor, you will enjoy many happy hours in your Tempo kayak.

Sea Trials
We have trialed the Tempo Fisherman kayak with a payload of 150kgs including passenger, battery, motor and gear etc. Using the 28lb thrust Minn Kota Classic we have consistently motored between 5 and 8 hours with a 135 amp/hour standard lead acid battery. This was trialed in various water and weather conditions. Endurance time will depend on power and level of charge in battery. It is not recommended that a battery is run flat, as this will have an adverse effect on the longevity of the motor. We suggest seeking advice about choice of battery from a Battery Dealer.

Standard Kayak
The Tempo Fisherman paddles extremely well with or without motor. Its huge payload capacity is ideal for extended expeditions. A rudder option is available. The design of the hull is particularly good surfing into a beach without the fear of roll over.
