We´ve already mentioned previously how much we liked P&H´s Cetus composite sea kayak, so when we got our hands on its plastic cousin, the Scorpio, expectations where high. It certainly shared its cousins easy on the eye good looks with sleek lines. Outfitting was good, although again we weren´t keen on the plastic footrests and they were fiddly to adjust. Storage was plentiful with bow, mid-ships and stern bulkheads with hatches and an easy to access day hatch. Once on the water we were pleased to find that the Scorpio shared the Cetus´s excellent handling characteristics. Its rounded hull with a shallow `V´ gives it very good manners and its fast and efficient when on the move. Its initial and secondary stability is great and it can be held on edge for turns very easily. The best thing about the Scorpio´s design is how it manages to be great for long open crossings, tracking well and covering the miles, combine that with an ability to handle rougher conditions with ease, even when fully loaded, and that makes it a solid, serious, expedition style boat. But there´s another side to the Scorpio, a playful side that surfs waves and nips nimbly between rocks, caves and sea arches pretty much as well as anything in the test with the exception of the Delphin. It´s highly manoeuvrable for a boat of its type, but less experienced paddlers found its mild mannered friendly feel confidence inspiring and easy to get on with. Add all that together and you get a modern plastic sea kayak design, available in standard or LV versions, with great features and fittings, that pretty much ticks all of the boxes for the majority of sea paddlers, so that´s why it gets our CKUK Best In Test Award

I paddled a P&H Scorpio and Capella RM 166 at a demo sponsored by a local paddling store. My intention actually was to test the Capella, which I liked a lot. However, the Scorpio really blew me away because it seemed so much quicker and maneuverable without sacrificing any stability. I tested about 5 boats that day -- in addition to the P&H models, a Necky Manitou 14, Hurricane Tracer 165 and Hurricane Santee Expedition. The Scorpio really blew me away compared to the other kayaks, although it was also the longest and most expensive. It also has 4 hatches including a small day hatch right in front of the cockpit.
I was initially considering the Capella for my next step up in a sea kayak (currently paddle a Necky Manitou 13), but I might have to save a little longer and get a Scorpio. The Capella was my clear second choice among the kayaks I paddled, but the Scorpio was tops. Oh yeah, both of the P&H kayaks were poly models not composite or fiberglass.

Although I have paddled actively for some 5+ years, I don't consider myself an advanced paddler, but I've paddled in a variety of conditions with my former kayak, a Wilderness Systems Cape Horn 150, which served me very well while I owned it.
Before my wife and I decided to buy P&H Scorpios (she has the LV version), we had demoed a variety of touring kayaks and were leaning toward the Wilderness Tempest, until we tried the Scorpio. After renting and paddling Scorpios for some two hours, we knew that these were the boats for us because we were both impressed not only by how they handled, but also because they seemed much better made than the other plastic kayaks we had tried.
Since I bought my Scorpio a month ago, I have paddled it on various parts of Narragansett and Buzzards Bays. but have not yet paddled on the ocean or tried the boat in the surf. The kayak is very nimble for it's length and responds quickly to edging and turns. It is stable in choppy seas and not phased by large boat wakes. Like other kayaks, it tends to weathercock when tides, currents, and wind are not in your favor, but using a little skeg puts the kayak right on track.
As I already stated, the P&H is a well-made kayak, but I don't believe that anything made by human hands is fully perfect, so the "9" rating is as good as you can expect from me. P&H's Corelite construction provides a plastic boat that is much stiffer that other plastic boats that I've paddled. It is also lighter: my full-sized Scorpio weighs just 55 lbs.
That said, the Scorpio is not without a few quirks. For example, it's "kink-free" skeg system seems to need further tweaking by the manufacturer. I have not yet experienced any problems with mine, but I know of both Scorpio and Cetus owners who have experienced difficulty with their skegs getting stuck while partially or fully deployed, and then they are unable to retract back into the hull. Fortunately, there is a fix to this problem..
P&H installs Kajaksport hatch covers on its kayaks, but the aft (i.e. the large rear hatch) hatch cover is difficult to fasten on the plastic boats because it appears to be a tad too tight. The cover "loosens" somewhat over time, I've been told, but until then, applying an appropriate lubricant and some dexterity seems to be the best way to ensure that the hatch cover goes on and stays on properly. Another hatch problem is with the small special hatch in front of the cockpit. It is a great idea and a great place to store a camera, sunscreen, or even a snack, but, as delivered, the hatch will leak if you plan to roll or practice wet exits, rescues, etc. P&H apparently used to caulk the seam, but now they've installed a gasket, which doesn't do the job, so someone will have to caulk the seam if you want to keep that hatch dry.

P&H Scorpio 170 er designet ut fra deres flaggskip P&H Cetus. En meget stabil kajakk som er lett å manøvrere, og som også bevarer sine gode egenskaper i bølger og tøft vær. Scorpio 170 passer like godt for den erfarne havpadler som for en nybegynner. Dette er virkelig en kajakk du kan "vokse" med, og den er en av de mest populære kajakkene i England. I sommer ble P&H også kåret til den beste havkajakken i Canoe and Kayak Magazine UK. Den kombinerer fart, manøvrerbarhet og stabilitet på en utmerket måte som ingen andre havkajakker kan vise til. Kvaliteten på plasten i skroget er av bedre kvalitet enn de aller fleste konkurentene. CoreLite kostruksjonen er letter ivekt, mer slitesterk og ripesikker en standard HDPE. Sandwich-konstruksjonen gjør sitt til at kajakken blir stiv og sterk. Leveres med skeg som standard, men ror kan monteres som ekstra utstyr.

Dette er en unik kajakk som du vil ha glede av i mange år.
