I bought Tamarack Angler 100 Fishing Kayak (Paddle Included) less than half a year and worn out and was in bad condition. I tried to find a place to fix it but, theres was no place to fix it so, then I conacted the Lifetime company claim department about my Kayak. They checked all the information about the kayak and said that they would normaly deny these claims but, since my kayak was very new they wanted to assist me and get me a new one with no charge. Their costomer service was very understanding and clear.

My family bought six of the Tamarack fishing kayaks two years ago. Over those two years, we had lost a couple of the seat strap clips. I called Lifetime's Customer Service to purchase replacement clips. I needed two, but intended to buy four, just to have extras. But, Lifetime quickly offered to send me 10 for free, not even charging me for shipping. That is above and beyond what I expected. Thank you Lifetime. That earned you a SHOUT-OUT on my Facebook page, too. Also, we bought these kayaks as starter-level for us, and have really enjoyed them. They are stable and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for hubby who loves to fish and can't afford a boat. Comfortable to sit in forming periods of time. Has just enough room to carry his equipment. Bought a cart from lifetime also so he can roll it to the lake on his own. Of course we use it when the family goes out to play. Great quality!,

I got two of these for my sons, 9 and 10. I didn't want to spend the money on a 12' for them because I didn't know if they would love them or not. My thought was that I would need to upgrade them in a year or two. These things are awesome! I'm 6' 230lb and I can totally use them. I should have saved more money and bought myself one of these!

Ordered through another vendor for my husband... the kayak seat is comfortable. HOWEVER, the dry storage "compartments" (Two 6" Storage Compartments in Rear and Center) is a joke! There are two 6" round lids that open into the ENTIRE hull of the kayak! There is not 2 "compartments". Therefore, if you throw your keys & phone into the "compartment" between your legs, it will slide from the front of the kayak to the rear & getting your stuff out is nearly impossible. Horrible engineering flaw.

I’m 5’11”, 190 lbs and 61 years old. The kayak was surprisingly easy to lift onto my truck racks probably because the handles are placed at a good balance point for the boat. Upon entering the kayak I was disappointed that the surface water came up high in the scupper holes and splashed up as I moved into position. The seat seemed comfortable, however after a few hours I decided to use a stadium seat from now on. Other than these two points the rest of the day was great. There was ample room for me and my gear. The kayak’s width, (beam), makes it more stable than others, though I didn’t attempt to stand. The V bow and trailing skegg made it move well through the calm lake water. Moving closer to the bay with some wind required extra effort. Simply put, if you’re just out to explore, have some fun and do some light fishing, this is all you need.

Just got my tamarack kayak last week and used it for the first time today, after about 2 hrs on the water the kayak had taken in a lot of water into the rear storage hatch. The hatch is behind the operator so of course I didn't realize there was so much water inside until i got back to shore and attempted to lift the rear end of the kayak out of the water. there is a drain hole on the nose of the kayak and it took several minutes to drain. also there is a manufacturing flaw on the bottom of the keel where there is a thin spot in the plastic, you can see light through it from the inside, not good

I received this kayak for father's day and was able to take it out. let my wife try it and the next day I bought one for her. they are very stable and comfortable have taken them to lakes around Lake Tahoe and they are great and lots of fun to explore on.

I bought 2 of theses kayaks and so glad I did. They’re pretty light weight and easy to load on top of the SUV. They look great, proven to be water tight and easy to handle. We took them out on the lake and had plenty of storage space for towels, snacks, etc. The bungee holds allow us to take along camp chairs and beach canopies for a full day of fun. A definite 2 thumbs up.

Honestly, I gambled. Like most things, this is engineered with a fudge-factor involved as some 275lb guy will think "hey, I'm 275lb" and then doesn't think as he loads 30lbs of gear on as well. Well, this is rated at 275lbs, will float 330 very easily. About 1/2 inch of water comes through the scupper holes though... you can get scupper stoppers if that bothers you. Personally, it doesn't bother me one bit as I may be sweet but I'm not made of sugar so I won't melt in a little water. :) Just purchased, had it on the water twice first weekend (wife bought a Tioga model). Tracks well on the water. Oars need drip blockers to keep the water from rolling down your onto you, but that's literally my only complaint. Very satisfied. Would highly recommend.
