Used this for 6 months and found it be be a great buy. Super comfortable seat, can sit for hours. Very stable in water. Took a little getting my nerve up but can absolutely stand and fish in this kayak. Looks great too. Only negative I can think of is it is A little heavy. It also tracks well.

I purchased this Kayak over a year ago and have used the heck out of it and it has held up well...still looks new...Very Stable I weigh 260 and 6 foot tall...I stand up and fish most of the time no problems .....However I lost the seat in the river...Contacted lifetime about a replacement and They are sending me a new one No charge....Great service...I was so impressed I went out and purchased a lifetime cooler today...Great company and products

So happy I called! I had lost the seat for my kayak over the winter and was dreading buying an expensive after market that may or may not fit. I called to see if they were able to sell the seat since the boat was about 11 months old. As soon as I provided the model & product ID, without even asking, the rep said they’d be shipping one out to me for free! I was shocked. Thank you so much

The kayak is amazing! And I love the seat because it is really comfortable.. Unfortunately, my seat broke after 3 1/2 years. However, I contacted customer service and next thing I know I have a new seat being sent to me for free! The whole process was simple, quick and easy. All I did was send one short email and then I had to provide the kayaks ID # and boom! Lifetime customer service took great care of me! I will be purchasing another kayak in the future and lifetime has earned and deserves my business! Thank you!

Great Kayak - comfortable fishing kayak

I wanted to until after I was able to fish it regularly for at least a year to be able to give a real review of consistent use of this kayak. In short, I can say that this kayak is a great to fish out of and has been perfect for me and what I wanted in a fishing kayak. During the past 2 springs, 2 summers and 1 fall, I have been able to get out and fish from it, 2-3 days a week and when the weather permitted, a few times during the past winter as well. So in the past year and a half, I have had it out well over 100 times. Typically 2-4 hours each outing but I have been out as long as 8 hours. Seat is very comfortable for all day fishing! For reference, I am a 54 year old male, 6'1" tall and weigh 215lbs and this kayak is perfect size for me and very stable. I also take my 35lb dog with me regulary! At first, trying to standup and fish was a little nerve racking but after a few outings, it got easier and easier and now I stand without issue, though I prefer to stay seated most of the time since its easier to adjust positions with paddle while seated. Front hatch is awesome. I have stored up to 5 rods (longest was 7') in the hull while travelling to the lake or river. You will get a little moisture in the hull (nothing more than drops of water) like most kayaks, so I use a dry bag for other items to store in the hull. The only modifications that I have done are: added anchor trolley, added yakattack rod holder and railblaza cup holder to tracks, built a diy kayak crate with extra rod holders that fits perfect in rear well, and used foam golf balls as scupper plugs. It paddles really well and tracks nicely. This is the best low cost entry to getting on the water to fish that I found and have absolutely no buyers remorse at all. The only issue i have had was with some stitching coming undone on the seat. Customer Service rep (Dany) was awesome and I had a brand new seat sent to me at no charge since it was covered under warranty. Seat arrived within a few days of contacting support. I have had no problems loading and unloading into my ford ranger pickup and getting it in and out of body of water. Wheel in the keel is great on hard surfaces (pavement, dirt, short grass) but not great on gravel as stones will jam the wheel. In summary, would I get the same kayak again? Absolutely! I've caught some of the best fish of my life from this thing. The paddling allows me to stay in shape while doing it too. I can go virtually anywhere on a body of water that boats can't go. The money saved compared to more expensive kayaks, allowed me to put towards fishing gear. Pros: Comfort: The seat is really comfortable for all day fishing Stability Tracking Wheel in keel (on hard surfaces) Front hatch with access to hull Tracks to mount accessories Stand up assist strap Built in ruler on floor Dog friendly PRICE!!! does everything a more expensive Kayak will do. I see no reason to pay more Customer Service (Dany) - only issue I have had was resolved quickly and professionally. Cons:(not really cons but ways to improve the design) The way the bungees for the paddle holders are attached. I think the cord should be connected to an exernal connector as opposed to through the wall of the plastic. The built-in rod holders are angled just a little bit too much out to the side instead of angled back more. If you are casting with another rod, you can possibly hit or catch the rod in the holder. Doesn't happen often but I have done it a few times. Use a bigger wheel (and hard rubber) in the keel that can traverse gravel paths.

I bought this Kayak a few years ago and loved everything about it minus the seat. The seat bars were barely too short for proper lock in. Ever since purchase, I just dealt with the occasional drop that happened and would just re-lock the bar in that slipped. Last week I was recommending this kayak to a friend and expressed my only concern. Upon looking on the reviews, it was indeed an issue. One reviewer left a note regarding it and lifetime told them to contact them. Long story short, I did the same and Brenna in customer service made my day. She had a new seat shipped and it fits exactly as it should! The seat was even updated from the previous one I had that came with it. This kayak will definitely be getting recommended by me as a perfect affordable fishing kayak with no flaws to any who ask about it. Great job Lifetime! I will be back when it's time to get another one.

Had this yak around a year or so...good yak.."BUT" would be really great yak IF the Sea-lect rudder they say will fit "Will NOT" and that is a quote from Sea-lect!! The handle on the stern is the problem and Sea-lect said needed to build a bracket to attach the rudder to that got I out past the handle...I see that FeelFree has a hole mount in the handle for that. I would give this yak a 10 star if it was not for the fact of the rudder issue. Shame on Lifetime.

I bought my kayak from Costco and it was shipped from the factory. when it got here I found one of the two storage boxes that come with it was broken . Ibelive this happen during shipping. no big deal Ihave others tht will fit the holder . when I took it out the first time I notice the hull keep filling up with water . after inspection I could see that the bungies on the sides for holding your paddle , there where two holes on each side where the bungie went into the kayak . I took some clear silicone and filled each hole now things stay dry inside the hull. this kayak is easy to paddle . it goes strait and is hard to tip over . minus a few defects and shipping mishaps this is a good kayak for the first timer .

I bought this kayak almost 2 months ago. I have been out on it pretty much every weekend since i purchased it. I am torn on how to rate this kayak, i love it, I hate it! On the water it performs awesome! I float rivers bow fishing for 6 to 8 hours and i don't get uncomfortable at all. I've been on big open water with big boats and it never gives you the sense of flipping. In short it is solid and comfortable on the water, and for a bigger guy of 250 lbs and over 6 foot, that was what I was looking for. I love the versatility that the rail system gives me. I can be set up with multiple fishing poles, or bow fishing mounts, or both. It moves with ease on the water and with openness of the cockpit area you can set in multiple positions. It is also really easy to get in and out of. It really is a great boat, that you are not in a hurry to get out of. Unless of course something breaks.... Now for the not so good. The seat, although very comfortable, is very cheaply made. I have not been able to set up at the higher position as the ends of the metal poles are cut too short and they just slip out of the locks. Last night the dang thing just broke, and now i am with out a seat! They use very, very cheap plastic at crucial points in this chair. Every place there is plastic on this chair I have experience failures, i.e. end caps and t-couplers. If this kayak didn't perform so well on the water i would of rated this thing with zero stars, for quality defects. The Dry storage area is useless. Mine leaks and having read other reviews this seems to be a common thing. I knew that this was a possibility so i just use a dry bag. HOWEVER; Unless you are out on the lake with other kayakers there is no way you are getting inside that thing while on the water without flipping. And on a side note, if you flip this kayak everything you have with you will end up at the bottom of the lake. I had to go diving for my bow and fishing poles, fun times! So even though it is stable you can flip this kayak, in my case the flipping was my own stupid fault and not something to ding in a review for. So if you like to take things on the water, like snacks, phones, fishing tackle boxes. Be aware if you flip its either safely in the useless dry box or in the lake. For the price you pay for this kayak over the others, you would think you were buying quality. ESPECIALLY the seat, as it is kind of the focal point on this boat. Come on Lifetime!
