Review:	Best kayak I have ever been on, shipped with no problems what so ever. Was at my front door in 5 days. Broke it in on 4 ft beach waves. Super stable, love the scuppers. I have purchased the kayak and all accessories through austin kayak, best prices compared to local shops. A couple scotty mount pole holders and milk crate, it is a fishing machine!!!

Review:	After a year researching many top brand of kayaks the Native Watercraft Mariner won out. The main reason the peddle drive and the fact that it can be peddled in reverse a big plus. I tested it out in tight locations where I could not paddle due to overhanging mangrove branches with a few forward and reverse moves I was out of the thicket kind of like driving a car. A full size paddle was of no use in those conditions. Fishing a main channel with boats coming and going, with the chop, the current, and the wind all against me I held my spot along a seawall catching seabass all the while slowly peddling in reverse holding my postion. It was an excellent decision hope others will consider this boat. Very roomy and a breeze to stand in.

Review:	I’m a 62 year old, 5’9”, 190 lbs. with only a year of kayak fishing experience. I had a 10’ sit-in kayak before buying the Mariner 12.5’ Propel. A shoulder issue made paddling the sit-in a problem after a couple of miles. In the Mariner, I've gone 8 miles nonstop at a steady 3 mph without feeling fatigued. The seat back has a wide range of adjustment, and a bar underneath with three settings for the seat tilt. I've rigged it with mounting plates on left & right side for fish finder and rod holder, anchor trolley, battery storage, and homemade fishing crate – and there’s still plenty of room even with all the gear including three rods. It remains stable, and easy to peddle. I find the ability to put it in reverse by back peddling very handy when fishing. I use a 240 cm paddle which helps when paddling this wide kayak. I’m disappointed with a single steering lever on the left side, but that’s only because I’m a leftie and hold the rod in my left hand. The rudder assembly is fixed in place and could be damaged by lifting the bow to drag the kayak. So I always drag by the stern when getting the kayak to the water, unless using my cart (not a Native Watercraft cart). I really like having 16 attachment points around the inside of the cockpit. I found the Native Watercraft ‘Plug N Play Latch Points’ to have too much flexibility for my needs, so I mounted a SS 1” D Ring to each attachment point metal bar using the pre-drilled hole. Cons: (all relatively minor in my humble opinion) * A sore tailbone within a couple of hours the first few times out – added a Skwoosh seat cushion * It’s a heavy kayak, so a roof top mount would be a workout – I carry it on a 12’ boat trailer * The pedal assemblies were squeaky right from the start – a dry Teflon lube took care of that * Forward hatch is too tight to open when on the water – I added a ‘T’ pull handle to facilitate opening * Rudder is exposed to damage if stern is dragged on the ground Pros: * Easily maintain 3 mph with minimal effort (GPS speed measurement) * Easily reverse direction by back pedaling * Turns tightly when moving at speed * Very stable, and able to stand up when in calm water * 16 attachment points * Seat is fully adjustable and 6” above waterline * Plenty of room in forward storage compartment * While Propel drive is audible when moving at 2- 3 mph, it is quiet when maneuvering into a fishing spot
