The Kaboose is as simple as( Pak N Go) as a multi season multi use 100% watertight product, easy to tow or pull in the water or snow, whether you kayak, canoe, snowshoe, paddle board or you are in a flood ravaged area. The kaboose fits all these needs.
Kayak Kaboose
The Kayak Kaboose is a water tight storage container that can be easily towed behind a watercraft to increase baggage capacity.

1. 100% water tight – field tested
2. Minimal drag – kayak enthusiasts that tested the product felt that there was little to no drag. The master boat builder, Skip Izon, who built the Kaboose first prototype, also built the two person Rowing Skulls which won 1996 Olympic Gold medal for Canada.
3. 6’ in length X 2’ wide X 1’ deep.
4. Stores up to 138 liters
