Hello and welcome to my fan site about Lifetime Kayaks (Dragonfly Innovations).

The reason for the creation of this blog was to pass on information such as accessories available, reviews, video links and information from others for those that have purchased a kayak already or those thinking of purchasing one in the future.

I purchased a Dragonfly Innovations Kayak around January of 2010. The model I chose is known here in Australia as the Dragonfly Angler 3.0. The same kayak under a different name can be purchased here in Australia and the United States called the Dragonfly Sport Fisher or Manta (now known as Lifetime Sport Fisher and manta).

Some of the reasons I purchased this kayak is that it suits my abilities as a beginner to the kayak scene needing a stable platform to fish from or just to enjoy a day on the water with my wife and daughter. It more than suited both these tasks.

Another factor in my decision to purchase this kayak was to upgrade it with the sailing kit and motor mount accessories that have been a long time coming.

In the future I will provide some photos, an in depth review of my experiences using the Angler 3.0 and some more information on the accessories.

Australian Customers To Wait Another Six Months For Motor Mount

In a recent email received from BCF it would seem that Australian owners of a lifetime kayak will be waiting some time yet for the motor mount fitting the Angler 3.0 or Lifetime Gator (see side note below).
Thanks for your enquiry.

This has been an ongoing saga as people were posting things on the net that did not exist (certainly not in Australia).

We are looking into some samples of motor mounts for them and at some stage we should have them. However as this can be a drawn out process they may not be in stores for another six months or so.

I hope this helps a little.

Not sure why there is a delay. These mounts have been available in the U.S. for over 7 months. Let's hope BCF gets the same custom mount as available from Lifetime direct. Even better would be for BCF to look at getting the sail kit manufactured as well.

Just a side note: I recently observed the Angler 3.0 being sold by a Queensland camping store under a new name. It was the camouflage model and being sold as the Lifetime Gator. The photo was the same as used by Lifetime in their catalogue. Some retailers must be importing these direct from Lifetime in the U.S.

I wonder if they could import the motor mounts as well?
