Who made my kayak?

Advice
#1

I bought a Heritage, 10 foot sit in fishing kayak from Academy Sports. Who actually made it?
I would like to find an Owner’s Manual for this actual model and a source for parts.

Thanks for any help.

Heritage used to be a good company and made great kayaksin New England. Around 2006 they were sold and the models were changed to “fishing kayaks” They have been sold a couple of times. A quick search did not turn up recent info on where the kayaks are now made.

Here is some old info

I have a early 2000’s Heritage Dolphin, must be from before the company sale as it was not set up for fishing. Can’t believe I have had it over 20 years now! Still looks and works great. Nice little SOT. Anyway, for parts, most things like rigging are pretty generic and widely available. You may have to be creative with a seat replacement and find something close. Several “parts stores” on the web. I don’t know that I have ever even seen an actual owners manual for a kayak, only the generic be safe and have fun sort of stuff.

edit- remembered I had some parts that came with another boat, from Topkayaker.com, they have a lot of stuff and may be able to help you out.
