2026 Native Hammer Pedal Fishing Kayak
The Native Watercraft Hammer 12'10" Fishing Kayak is designed for anglers who want it all—pedal power, motor capability, and efficient paddling performance. Measuring 12 feet 10 inches long and 36 inches wide, this kayak offers the ideal balance of speed and stability for serious fishing adventures. With a hull weight of 110 pounds and a fully rigged weight of 140 pounds, the Hammer supports a massive payload capacity of up to 650 pounds, making it more than capable of hauling your gear, catches, and accessories.
At the core of the Hammer is the innovative Propel X-Range Pedal Drive system. This next-generation drive allows seamless integration of both pedal and motor propulsion without sacrificing deck space or fishability. Whether you're pedaling into tight cover, cruising open water with a stern motor, or switching to paddle mode for stealth, the Hammer adapts to your style on the fly.
The deck layout is loaded with thoughtful features that make rigging and fishing more efficient. A bow hatch with battery storage and integrated wire routing keeps electronics tidy, while bow and stern motor mounts open up options for powered performance. The kayak includes PowerLink plates, MOLLE-style mounting points, and a full-perimeter Groove Track system to easily attach accessories like rod holders, anchor trolleys, or fish finders.
Anglers will appreciate the spacious, padded standing deck and smartly placed storage areas. There’s side tackle box storage, flush-mount and forward-facing rod holders, and a PivotPro seat with an integrated tackle tray. The kayak is also foot-steering ready and compatible with the Wizard Steering System, making it even easier to control while using a motor or drifting in current. Additional features include skid plates for added durability, side storage compartments, in-hull access, and readiness for the Sidekick Wheel System.
The Hammer is built from the ground up for multi-mode propulsion and ultimate angler customization. Whether you're covering water quickly or fishing slow and methodical, it delivers unmatched versatility and fishability in one sleek, feature-rich platform.

Native Hammer Features
Dual-Propulsion Performance: Designed from the water up to run both motor and pedal propulsion — not as a compromise, but as a fully integrated system. Whether you're motoring to the zone or pedaling into tight cover, the Hammer gives you seamless transitions with zero clutter. Run a bow motor, a stern motor, or both. Foot-controlled steering keeps your hands on the rod. Switch quickly and easily to the X-Range pedal system to truly utilize all the features. This is movement as part of the method.
-
PowerLink™ Electronics Integration: Rig smarter, not harder. With PowerLink plates throughout the boat and two dedicated battery compartments (bow and underseat), Hammer is ready for high-output setups — from live imaging to dual graph layouts. We included through-hull wiring ports at key install points so transducers, power lines, and network cables stay clean and protected.
-
Custom Rigging Compatibility: Designed for anglers who go all-in. From FFS transducers to NMEA networks, Hammer supports complex wiring and high-draw power builds without turning your deck into spaghetti.
-
All-New Propel X-Range Drive: The next generation of Native Watercraft pedal power. The Propel X-Range folds cleanly onto the bow deck for maximum cockpit space, then deploys in seconds with a one-handed twist-lock system. No clunky removal. No alignment guessing. Just pure, responsive pedal power when you want it — and a clean deck when you don't.
-
Mission-Tuned Hull Design: Speed. Stability. Silence. The Hammer's sharp bow entry and clean stern exit make it fast and efficient, while the 36” beam offers a confident standing platform for big casts and even bigger hooksets. We added reserve buoyancy chambers above the waterline — so when you load the stern with gear or a motor, the hull adapts and maintains its trim for optimal performance. Be dry and go fast!
-
Modular Motor Control: The Hammer adapts to your propulsion strategy. Whether you're running a foot-controlled stern motor or a spot-lock trolling motor up front, this layout gives you flexibility without the fuss.
-
Rigging-Ready From Day One: We didn’t just leave room for your accessories — we built them in. The Hammer features full-length accessory tracks, recessed gear mounts in the tankwell, and our signature tackle tray system beside and below the seat. The PivotPro seat gives you a high, stable platform to operate from, and the drive cover includes a sealed dry pod for small-item storage right where you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210
Who is the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 designed for?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 is designed for anglers who want to run a pedal drive and a motor on the same hull. It measures 12 feet 10 inches long and 36 inches wide, carries 650 pounds, and combines the Propel X-Range pedal drive with bow and stern motor mounts that support dual motor setups, PowerLink plates throughout, two battery compartments and PivotPro seating with a tackle tray.
What drive does the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 use, and how is it different?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 uses the Propel X-Range pedal drive, a different unit from the 701 Series Propel fitted to the Slayer and TitanX models. It is patent pending, with a pivot and stow system, an auto-aligning latch, a twist-lock drive cover with integrated dry pod, and a built-in weed cutter. No drive weight, minimum operating depth or reverse specification is published, so ask us before assuming it matches the 701 Series.
What are the dimensions of the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 measures 12 feet 10 inches long, 36 inches wide and 13.5 inches deep at the beam. Fitted hull weight is 110 pounds, fully rigged weight is 140 pounds and rated capacity is 650 pounds. Allow roughly 13.5 feet of clear length for storage. The 36 inch beam gives a wide deck and a standing area, which is a design feature rather than a safety guarantee.
How much does the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 weigh, and how do I move it?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 weighs 110 pounds fitted and 140 pounds fully rigged. The fitted figure excludes seat and drive; the rigged figure includes both. Before choosing a transport method, check your vehicle roof load rating, your rack and crossbar ratings, the rating of any cart or trailer, your loading equipment, and the method and help you will have.
Review our kayak trailer guide when comparing transport options.
How much weight can the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 carry?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 is rated to a maximum capacity of 650 pounds. Treat that as one total operating load covering the paddler, the seat, the Propel X-Range drive, one or two motors, batteries and electronics, tackle, coolers, safety equipment and the rest of your cargo. Do not subtract the fitted or rigged hull weight to invent a separate usable figure. Leave a margin below the published maximum for conditions and for what you add during the day.
Can I run a motor as well as the pedal drive on the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210?
Yes, the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 has bow and stern motor mounts that support dual motor setups, PowerLink plates throughout the boat and two dedicated battery compartments. Steering is foot controlled. Motors, batteries and wiring are compatible accessories sold separately, and each one counts against the 650 pound rated capacity, so send us your intended loadout and we will check it.
Our guide to kayak fishing motors covers the options.
How should I strap the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 to a roof rack or trailer?
Secure the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 with properly rated cam straps, following the instructions supplied with the kayak, the rack and the vehicle. Do not use ratchet straps, and do not winch the kayak onto a trailer: damage caused by the use of ratchet straps is excluded from warranty coverage, and so is damage caused by using a winch system to pull the boat up onto a trailer. Check every strap rating before you travel.
How should I clean and store the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210?
Rinse the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 with fresh water after saltwater use, store it out of prolonged direct sunlight, support the hull evenly and avoid concentrated pressure points. Damage caused by improper storage or transportation is excluded from warranty coverage, as are normal wear and color discoloration. The thwart bar has a quick release for travel storage, which is a convenience feature and not a published warranty requirement. Follow the storage and transportation instructions supplied with the kayak.
What warranty comes with the Native Watercraft Hammer 1210, and how do I register it?
The Native Watercraft Hammer 1210 hull carries a limited lifetime warranty for the original retail customer against manufacturing defects, five years against normal wear and tear, and one year on kayak components. Commercial, rental, livery and demonstration use gets one year on both instead. Register the kayak within 14 days of purchase to activate coverage. The published drive warranty names only the 701 Series Propel and sets no term for the Propel X-Range fitted here, so ask Eco Fishing Shop for written confirmation. Claims start with your authorized dealer.
