LL Manta Ray 12 ???
 

Hey all,

I was browsing the net and came accross the Manta Ray 12 by liquidlogic. Does anyone own this boat, and what do you thingk of it. I'm thinking sell my pungo 120 and get this boat as it is more didicated to fishing. So if you have any experience with it please chime in.

Tight lines and paddle well,

Jon

Sorry, I have no experience or know anyone with experience with the manta ray. I have a MK Pro Explorer I will be looking to sell in a few weeks though in case you're interested.

Shoot me your email and I will give you a link to several Manta ray 12 and 14 owners on a forum just for Liquid logic Yaks. I can't email you direct yet, new member, less than four posts,hehe.

Re: LL Manta Ray 12 ???
 

Just curious, why are yuo selling your MK Pro Explorer? I have one also and it leaks a lot. Are you having this problem?

Re: LL Manta Ray 12 ???
 

No, mine was watertight, at least in the bays. I got the pro to replace my OK Big Game which was just too much kayak for my needs. After getting the Pro, I paddled the Marauder and realized really liked and wanted the extra room it offers and the much quieter hull.

As far as your Pro Explorer leaking, does it happen in the bays where there is essentially no water on the deck, or does it seem to take on water when water comes over the bow or sits on the hatches? Just Curious,

It happens even on freshwater lakes. I ran a hose over the hatches with little water getting in. I'qm taking it to a Malibu dealer to try to figure out. thanks, ****,

If that is the case, I would look really good at the scuppers then. That area seems to cause more problems for anglers than others. If you run a finger down the scupper and you feel a very pronounced ridge, that's one of the weak spots where scuppers can leak.

If you want to see if they leak, you can buy a small jar of plumbers putty and make a ball out of some to plug one end of the scupper. Then fill it with water and see if you get water inside the kayak from a leak. Just a thought,
Perry
