Built for weekend fishing trips. Our score: 7.0/10, “good”. Rated from the listing's stated specs (no buyer reviews captured yet).
The Old Town Vapor 10 next to two paddle fishing kayaks that come closest to it in build and rating.
The length stated in the listing. Longer hulls glide and track better on open water; shorter ones turn faster and are easier to carry and store.
It is quiet and simple: paddle out, rest the paddle, fish. Nothing to charge, nothing to lift out of the weeds.
Check the listing: it does not say sit-on-top, so read the layout carefully.
A sit-inside keeps you drier and warmer on cold water but holds less tackle.
These points come straight from the seller's listing, in the brand's own words.
Getting to the water. A roof rack or a trailer, then a cart or a friend for the walk to the water.
On the water. Paddle to the spot, rest the paddle, fish. Simple, quiet, nothing to maintain.
After the trip. A rinse with the hose, then store it on its side or on a rack, out of the sun.

The Old Town Vapor 10 is about a 10 ft hull, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so the Old Town Vapor 10 has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Old Town fishing kayak: no stated weight capacity, while most of this list gives one. We'd pick it if you want a fishing kayak for weekend fishing trips; otherwise, put it next to the Intex Dakota Quest first.
Before the Old Town Vapor 10 lands on your driveway, check the weight capacity: the listing gives no figure, so ask the seller or read the manual before you plan your load.
Without a stated capacity, the manufacturer manual is the only reliable source: get the figure before you plan a trip with gear.
10 ft long: picture your roof rack, the lift onto it and the corner of the garage where it will live.
Ponds and slow rivers suit almost any kayak; open, windy water favours a longer hull and a rudder. Be honest about where you will fish most.
A PFD that meets U.S. Coast Guard rules, a light if you fish at dawn or dusk, and the registration rules of your state boating authority.
