Frequently Asked Questions About the Old Town Loon 120

Who is the Old Town Loon 120 best suited to?

The Old Town Loon 120 suits recreational paddlers who want a calm, easy sit-inside for lakes and slow rivers rather than a fishing platform.

It is 12 ft long, 30 in wide and 54 lb assembled, and it carries 321 lb of paddler and gear.

Our kayak sizing guide explains how length and width change the feel.

How much weight can the Old Town Loon 120 carry?

The Old Town Loon 120 is rated at 375 lb total and 321 lb usable.

Usable capacity is the 375 lb total minus the 54 lb boat, and it is what remains for you, a dry bag, camping kit or a dog. Plan against 321 lb rather than the total.

Sitting well under that figure keeps the hull higher in the water and easier to turn.

What is the cockpit on the Old Town Loon 120 like to get into?

The Old Town Loon 120 has a 56 in by 22 in cockpit and a 15.25 in deck height, two inches lower than the 17.25 in deck on the Loon 126 Angler.

The low deck makes the boat feel closer to the water and cuts windage, while the long opening keeps entry and exit straightforward.

It is a narrower opening than the 23 in Angler cockpits, so try it if you are tall or carry a lot of leg.

How stable is the Old Town Loon 120?

The Old Town Loon 120 is 30 in wide on a three-layer polyethylene hull, an inch narrower than the 31 in Loon 126.

How stable any kayak feels depends on load, weight distribution, wind, current, chop, water temperature and experience rather than on width alone.

Width alone does not settle how a hull will feel, so build up from sheltered water rather than starting on an exposed lake.

What should be bought alongside the Old Town Loon 120?

A paddle and a life jacket are the two things the Old Town Loon 120 does not include, and both belong aboard on every trip.

Paddle length should be matched to the 30 in beam and your height rather than price, so tell us both and we can size a kayak paddle.

A dry bag sized to the stern hatch, a bilge pump or a cart may also be useful depending on how and where you launch.

How is the Old Town Loon 120 transported and stored?

The Old Town Loon 120 weighs 54 lb assembled and is 12 ft long, with a 6 lb seat that lifts out.

Whether it can go on your roof is decided by the lowest of the vehicle roof rating, the crossbar rating and the rack rating, so confirm all three rather than working from the boat weight.

Store it shaded, off the ground and supported evenly along its length.

What warranty applies to the Old Town Loon 120?

The hull and deck of the Old Town Loon 120 carry limited lifetime coverage for the original retail purchaser.

Accessories such as paddles and life jackets are covered for one year. This is a paddle kayak, so the five-year PDL Drive term and the two-year electric drive term do not apply to it.

Warranty claims begin with Old Town. Eco Fishing Shop can help identify the correct support path, but coverage decisions are made under the Old Town warranty terms.

Can the Old Town Loon 120 be used in saltwater, and how should it be looked after?

Yes, the Old Town Loon 120 can be used in saltwater as long as it is rinsed with fresh water afterward.

Salt attacks fittings rather than the three-layer polyethylene hull, so concentrate the hose on the seat frame, the hatch rim and any hardware you have added.

Let it dry before storage, then keep it shaded and evenly supported. Ultraviolet light is what ages polyethylene fastest.
