Review:	I love this boat. Float/fish mainly smaller rivers/streams in SW Ohio and it's perfect. Not quite as stable while standing as some had mentioned. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Review:	Love my kayak. Plenty of room for stuff and dogs too. Handles easily. Light enough to load onto my car myself. Used mostly on flat water. Glad to have the rudder kit in windy and choppy water.

Review:	Just received my NWU12 exactly one week after ordering! The delivery was hassle free. Carrier met me at an agreed on location less than a mile from my home. He said he had delivered 4 kayaks from ACK in the last six months to Southern Indiana!. Immediately took it out to my pond to put it through its paces. What a great boat! Comfy and stable! Was able to load it on my truck rack, solo, with no sweat. Looking forward to many great times in this yak. Thanks ACK for a great, hassle free transaction WIll do business with ACK again! - Bill

Review:	After ordering my NWU12 from AKC it was at the dock a day earlier than expected. The boat was perfectly packed and not a scratch on her. Ive paddle twice and I like the boat very much. It handles great on the water, is stable yet nimble. I had the rudder installed, and it is taking some time to get used to. But it does exactly what its supposed to do- steer. I really like the new groove track- no more permanent attachments. I downsized from a 14.5 and the 12 is easily handle out of the water. I put it over head and slide it onto my truck roof rack and Yakima tower. The 12 is not as fast as the 14.5, and the 14.5 is a bit more stable, but the weight difference is worth the trade off. This was a good buy.
