The Rocket 9.8ft with propeller drive combines extra hull length for better tracking and speed with the instant reverse control of a prop drive system. Longer than the 9.5ft models so you cover more water with less effort — but still breaks into two sections that fit in your car boot and store in your apartment.

Instant reverse when you need it. The propeller drive gives you full forward and reverse control with your feet. Back away from obstacles, hold position in current, and maneuver precisely around docks and structure without touching a paddle. Your hands stay on the rod.

9.8ft hull, 2-section portability. Longer hulls track straighter and move faster — but traditionally they mean roof racks and garages. Not the Rocket. Two sections. Fits in your boot. Stores in your apartment. Same modular convenience, more hull performance.

A serious fishing setup. 400lb capacity, W-hull stability for standing casts, large storage hatch, accessory rail tracks, stadium seat, and rod holders included. Built for anglers who fish hard and want a platform that keeps up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose propeller over fin drive on the Rocket?
If you fish near docks, in tidal current, or around structure where you need to reposition quickly, the prop drive's instant reverse is a real advantage. If you fish shallow flats where stealth matters most, the fin drive version is the better fit.

Will it fit in my car without a roof rack?
Yes. Both sections fit in the boot of most mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks without roof racks, foam pads, or tie-down straps.

How does the 9.8ft hull compare to the 9.5ft?
The extra length improves straight-line tracking and paddling efficiency. You'll feel the difference most on open water and longer paddles to your fishing spot.
