| Review: | It functions as advertised. Nice seat, and adequate room behind the seat. Not hard to set up, if you are accustomed to inflatables. Only dissapointment were the scupper holes, in that it is not easy to open and close them. Best to leave them closed unless you expect a wave over the bow. Once on the beach you can open a couple of them near the seat, and lift the bow a little and what water has accumulated will drain out. The boat is on the heavy side, but it seems very durable, a tradeoff I prefer. | ||||

| Review: | I recently purchased this kayak mainly for its portability/space savings for fishing. However, I was unaware of the extra portals along each side of the bottom that when unplugged turn it into a self bailing unit for rec use on rivers or rough warm waters. An excellent thought out option. Im quite pleased with this kayak, especially at the sale price I paid. It tracks surprisingly well,inflates very quickly, cleans easily and Ive had a fair amount of fish slim and blood in it, is very stable, seems tough and has the necessary well thought out bells and whistles to make fishing and carrying some gear a pleasure. Space is at a premium mainly because the inflatable bags at each end take up a fair amount of bow and stern space, but are important to the excellent tracking ability because of the pressure they put on the metal bow and steam keels. Ive already made a few changes and add-ons to enable it to carry a little more gear, including a soft-side ice chest. The removal utility bar is a great feature for attaching rod holders for holding rods duh! but also for being able to troll while paddling, or lashing gear in concert with the D-rings for just a nice river run. Im 58 and slim and the kayak fits me well spent 7 hrs. in it one day and has a very comfortable seat with an inflatable lumbar support. A much larger and/or heavier man or woman might want to test the kayak first before buying. I dont like giving items 5 stars because nothing is perfect, but I cant give 4.5 stars and 5 is closer to how I feel about it at this point. | ||||
