Austin Kayak - I live in NJ and my Ultimate 14.5 Angler Tandem was shipped to me the day I ordered. The shipping took 3 days. I'm 63 years old, and I had never been in a Kayak. The first day I took it out, I had a friend with me to show me the ropes since he'd been kayaking all his life. This boat is beautiful and well built! It is much more stable than any canoe I've been in. I got this boat basically for fishing and ghosting around the edges of the reservoirs. I've had numerous heart problem and this boat helps enormously with exercise. Austin Kayak seems far, but they are as close as a telephone. I've had numerous questions and they can answer any questions you have - instantly! Their people are excellent and know boats!!! Rich Reitz

Well.....it is a good boat for 1 person or 1.5 people. It is not so good for 2 grown men since you would be nearing maximum weight allowed in the boat. With 400lbs in the boat, all it takes is 3 good sized waves to sink it. I know because I tested it. Other than that, good boat. The rudder kit should not be optional, in my opinion. I installed it myself and it took all day long because the instructions were really poor.

The best kayak for standing and casting to anything. I can bowfish, flyfish, throw a cast net, and you can take a friend along. Nothing better. Period.

The Native Watercraft Ultimate 14.5 Tandem Angler Kayakis awesome. We had some damage to one of the clips on the armrest. While we eventually received the replacement clips a month later, we got the run around to receive the clips. We were told the clips had been shipped when they hadn't and then told that UPS shipments couldn't be tracked. The kayak is great but the customer service could use improvement.

Everything I wished it would be. It is the Ultimate fishing kayak for lakes or rivers. Tandem use allowed two people to back troll with 4 rods pulling spoons and flashers for Lake Trout. Don't blame the seats if your unable to fish or hunt for hours...very nice!

This boat is everything they said it would be and it paddles effortlessly compared to many others I have tried out. One thing I would like to see Native do is come up with a stern braced for a trolling motor that would replace the rudder and steers by the rudder pedals. We love the boat!
