Bought this just this summer for my husband. He absolutely LOVES it! It holds all his fishing gear with room to spare for a cooler with food and drinks. He loads up and can be gone for at least 2 hours on the lake before coming back to shore. It's perfect for a solo fisherman.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first kayak and today I took it out for 3.5 mile fishing trip, This kayak is extremely easy to paddle and extremely comfortable. I'm very happy with my purchase, looking forward to more fishing trips to come

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am actually 6'1" and 250 lbs. I was assured by many that it would not be a problem with the kayak and I can say the Kayak supports me. I was never interested about standing up in a kayak so for me it was about sit down stability. When I used the standard seat I was comfortable and stable and now that I have built an add on seat from a handicap shower chair with a back I never bet my butt wet.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kayak is amazing stable and excellent for fishing ponds, reservoirs, and lakes. I weigh 240 lbs and was amazed has to how this thing handled as well as the stability. I recently moved and the movers inadvertently lost one of the hatch covers. I went to the Lifetime page and chatted with Randy (customer service rep) within a minute he told me that they would send me out a replacement part free of charge. Outstanding product and outstanding customer service!! If only Comcast and AT&T could provide such customer service! I love you guys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received via shipping. Can't wait to try it out. I have owned several kayaks so I was looking for one with specifics I wanted and this one had most. First is sit on top... sit in boats are hard to get out of gracefully, especially for an old big guy! But I've watched young and fit adults struggle as well. Lol The multi foot rest positions are another personal preference. I have owned kayaks with adjustable foot rest.. they are not easy to adjust from a seated position and you tend to adjust your feet often on a decent trip. I really wanted the side mounted adjustable rod holder also and this is the only boat I found designed this way. If you like slow trolling fishing then a center mount rod holder makes it difficult to do. Plus you usually have to lean forward a bit to reach the rod with a center mount. The side mount is an easy reach for a quick set. I'll be pushing the weight limit at 275 but sit on tops won't swamp or sink. The width of the hull looks much wider than any of my previous boats so that will only improve stability quite a bit! Eager to dirty it up with some fish scales and slime!

Bought a pair for myself and wife. Are having a great time with them. We've used them on lakes and in the Monterey Bay by the aquarium. They are very stable. Tracking is great. We don't fish so never used the rod holders. Really enjoy being out on them. They are a bit heavy so a cart helps a lot. The storage inside is a but funky. The hatch opens up to the entire inside, so if you put something in there, it can move around to anywhere underneath. I need to figure out how to keep items near the hatch. I did lose a hatch (my fault) and Lifetime made it really easy to get a replacement. One trick to share, if you want to keep your butt from getting really wet because of the scupper holes under the seat, buy some foam golf balls on eBay and plug those two holes. Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this on vacation in Florida so I could do some shark fishing! I caught some! Seriously though this is an incredible value. I did have a problem with the seat pad coming off and the drain plug coming off during transit. Called lifetime and they're sending replacements free of charge! I've had lots of questions about this boat in Ohio and have several people buy them because of my happiness with the brand! Btw this is my third kayak and still the one I use the most. Thanks guys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this kayak last week and it handled great on its maiden voyage. The rod holder worked great. Unfortunately one of the seat buckles broke but Lifetime customer service was excellent and immediately shipped a replacement part at no charge. Looking forward to many more adventures on our local lakes and the Russian River.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this kayak to get to places that I used to fish by hiking to when I was young. Am now 71 years old and use it to get to old fishing places via water rather than hike. Fishing streams and upper parts of no road lakes and streams simply by paddling and enjoying the comfort of the trip.
