The Backwater 13 joins the popular Backwater 15 as our second square stern model. Smaller than the Backwater 15, but offering ample stability, the Backwater 13 is the perfect companion for an afternoon of fishing or birding. A broad transom provides excellent stability when motoring solo and can be fitted with an electric trolling motor or small outboard. Standard outfitting includes Wenonahs Versigunwale accessory track system which accepts a wide range of kayak fishing accessories. We recommend a small outboard in the 2-3hp range, or a trolling motor with at least 55lbs. of thrust to unlock this boat's true potential. To offset the weight of the motor, place the battery or gas tank as far forward as possible.
