How do I tell what year my kayak is?
You can tell the year a kayak hull was molded and for which model year from the last 4 digits of your serial number. The Hull Identification Number (Hull ID or HIN) is a serial number assigned by the manufacturer that uniquely identifies a boat, similar to the VIN on an automobile.Boats with plastic or molded hulls — like kayaks — may have the HIN etched into the hull at the stern (back end of the boat).You can find the serial number in the back of your kayak on the outside of the hull in the right-hand corner. It starts with ZEP and is 12 characters long. WELCOME IN THE PELICAN FAMILY!

How many years does a kayak last?
Bottom line: 6-12 years is a pretty typical range for the life span of a kayak. That’s a huge range, you might say. And yes, that is true. An inflatable kayak might last you only a half dozen years; however, a well-maintained, quality kayak can last twice that or much longer – even a lifetime. The average lifespan of a kayak is up to 8-14 years. Pretty long, right? But if you don’t have enough occasions to use it, then even 8-14 years don’t seem enough. Not to mention that you also need to keep up its maintenance, since exposure to UV radiation can degrade the material.
