For sale is a well taken care of Dagger Stratos 12.5S, in terrific shape, only about 2 years old.
Playful and sporty in the surf, yet equally capable for a day trip on the lake, the Stratos 12.5S is a very versatile, tough kayak. The compact shape accelerates easily with a considerable nod to maneuverability, with the capacity fitting of a lengthier boat. It's equipped with bow and stern bulkheads, TruTrak skeg system, Contour CFS Seating System, and, Dagger’s new touring bulkhead foot brace for added connection.
The 12.5S model features a lower deck height (than the standard 12.5L) and is more suited for smaller to medium-sized paddlers or paddlers with a shorter torso but still with great capacity at 250 lbs.
The thigh bracing has been reinforced with a custom-cut polyethylene to reduce flex. Bulkheads had additional sealing on them on both sides to better handle water pressure in dynamic water. This thing is amazing to surf with, and just a great all round kayak that can take a beating. Having said that, it has relatively few scratches and is in great shape.
