What Users Are Saying
The Halo 130 is stable and easy to get in and out of, but it’s also the fastest, lightest, and most maneuverable day tripper we’ve ever tested. It paddles much longer than its 13 feet suggest, thanks to a keel that extends the length of the hull.
- Outside Magazine Review (2013)Now that it's made in China some features have been dropped. In 2023 the hatch in front of the cockpit is a snap on rather than a screw in - this is inconvenient when on the water. The seat no longer adjusts forwards/backwards. The rest of the boat seems the same. It's quite light and easy to load on a car/truck. Handles well.
