Oldtown Vapor 10 or Ascend FS10

Gumswamp · Mar 9, 2011

Fellas will accept all the advice you can give. My budget is limited and I am trying to decide between these 2 kayaks.
Will be used mainly in 100 acre + PFA lakes, farm pond and Ocmulgee River below Macon, Ga. Which one is my best choice ?

Thank You to everyone for all the help.

Are you going for an angler edition or standard? Are you stuck on 10 ft? I know that the 10 ft sit in angler edition of the Ascend is about $20 than the 12 ft Sit on top angler edition Ascend. Never read much about the Vapor. I'm sure some other guys can chime in, I just have a little bit of knowledge because i've researched way too many kayaks in the past few weeks. I finally settled on a Perception Pescador from Academy. I think they sell a 10 ft Sit On Top for about $450 as well.

I'd get the Old Town because I am a rep. But the difference between the two is mostly in the seat. Look at both seats and see which one you like the best.

Either one would work for you, check the reviews for each one and see which one you like best

if you are going to be running the oc, you might want to consider a sit-on-top kayak. with a budget +/- $500, you might consider a ws tarpon 100, ok endeavor (12 ft), ok scrambler (12 ft) and others as SOT options.

between the two you listed above, i would choose the vapor.

I have had an old town Loon 111 since 1998 and I love it, its a good choice if your not real big.
